Our Treatment Philosophy

We are expert clinicians who share a deep commitment to stabilizing and improving the lives of our patients. We appreciate that change takes courage, especially when that means seeing a new doctor or therapist. Our mission is to make your journey a comfortable one through warmth, compassion, and collaboration.  We plan to get you all the way well.

As our patient, you can trust that we will take the time to understand your concerns, make the correct diagnosis, and provide you with effective care.

No Surprises Act

Effective January 1, 2022 a ruling went into effect called the “No Surprises Act” which requires practitioners to provide a “Good Faith Estimate” for out-of-network care. Under the law, health care providers must provide uninsured or self pay patients the cost of services that are expected for your health care needs. 

The Good Faith Estimate’s objective is to increase patient awareness of their medical expenses and give an overview of projected services. For existing patients we will provide  a Good Faith Estimate at the beginning of each year, and while onboarding for new patients.   To learn more about this law please visit: https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
