Practice Philosophy
The ultimate purpose of all work in this medical office can be stated in just three words: to help people. Service to the sick, the troubled, and the infirmed must be provided when it is needed. A medical office has to have operating policies and rules to aid in reaching that objective.
Many of the rules and policies of this medical office are intended to build the confidence a patient feels in the physician and the supporting personnel who work in the medical office. A strong doctor/patient relationship is necessary if the patient is to receive full benefit from the physician's services. The patient must feel he/she can talk freely to the doctor and that the doctor is knowledgeable and conscientious, and the medical office is well managed. Only if these attitudes prevail will the patient be likely to take the doctors treatment. The employees play an important role in building this confidence by being cheerful, friendly, tactful, neat, and industrious.
