Patient's Bill of Rights

Our patients are our highest priority. We want you to know that your rights as a patient in our office are based on dignity, respect and integrity. 

In 1973, the American Hospital Association (AHA) issued a Statement of a Patient's Bill of Rights. Your rights are:

1. Considerate and respectful care.
2. Information regarding one's own diagnosis.
3. Information necessary to give informed consent to any procedure.
4. Refusal of treatment to the extent permitted by law.
5. Privacy concerning one's own medical care.
6. Confidentiality in all communications and records relating to one's own care.
7. Reasonable responses to requests and services.
8. Information concerning other health care and educational institutions related to one's own care.
9. Information as to hospital plans to perform human experimentation affecting one's own care and refusal to participate in same.
10. Reasonable continuity of care.
11. Explanation of one's hospital bill.
12. Knowledge of what hospital rules and regulations apply to one's own conduct as a patient.
