Family members and caregivers are an integral part of your evaluation and are encouraged to attend appointments. We do not provide primary care, but we will communicate any recommendations and treatment plans to your primary care provider. We collaborate with them as part of your care.
Because we take a patient and family-centered approach to care, we also work with your loved ones and caregivers to help them understand and manage care needs and assist in care planning discussions with them.
