What We Don’t Do:
We do not provide care for pregnancy during pregnancy but can do pre-conception counseling, free urine pregnancy testing and refer you to a capable OB/GYN.
We do not perform DOT physicals at this time.
We do not manage chronic pain or adult ADD/ADHD. If this is a part of your health care we will manage your other concerns and coordinate pain-related care with a pain professional, and psychiatric care. We do not carry any pain medications or controlled substances in our clinic and do not routinely prescribe them.
At this time we do not have on-site immunizations. This is because these are available at a low-cost at pharmacies and County Health Departments. We will review CDC immunization recommendations and update the state database (MCIR).
We do not function as the attending physician when our patients are in the hospital. This means we don’t write the orders, do the billing or ‘call the shots’. We will provide records, discuss your care by phone or perform in-hospital visits as requested if you should become hospitalized.
