PCMH - A healthcare partnership
As an office designated as PCMH, or Patient Centered Medical Home, we are able to provide comprehensive, coordinated health care to patients at all stages of their life. It is a health care partnership developed between you, the patient, your physician and your health care team.
As a valued patient, we are excited to discuss this rewarding approach to health care right here in our office with no additional cost or inconvenience to you. In fact, we think you will be very pleased with some of the patient friendly features that will be available to you now and in the future.
As partners in your healthcare we look forward to discussing this information with you and answering any questions you may have.
Patient-Doctor Partnership
The health and wellness of our patients is a top concern of this office.
Providing the best possible care to every patient is our primary goal.
The only way we can meet this goal is if I, your doctor, the office staff, and you, my patient, work together.
This concept is called the Patient Centered Medical Home.
