This one is important: we have a team of physicians who have each spent over a decade in training and have spent years in practice following training. We use the most recent, science-based evidence to guide treatment plans & to counsel you on general wellness. You are hiring us to provide that expertise over time as it best fits with what you are experiencing. We may recommend medicine; we may not. We may recommend labs; we may not. We may recommend an x-ray; we may not. If at any point you think things should go differently or don’t understand your physician’s recommendation, we invite you to speak up, clarify, ask questions, and make your voice heard! It is our job to offer expert advice in a manner that is understandable and fits (as best as it can) with your finances, beliefs, culture, and day-to-day rhythm, but we will always revert back to the evidence and best practices for a given situation. It’s literally what you’ve hired us to do, and we take that responsibility very seriously. *
