Bright idea!
As far as I’m concerned, the best case scenario for patients is to have physicians from different modalities integrating their services with each other. This ensures the greatest benefit for the patient. Many health care practitioners, especially Western medical doctors, are realizing the benefits of teaming-up with an acupuncturist/herbalist who is open to collaboration.
Why would you refer your patients to see me, as well as you ?
•They’ve received multiple therapies but are still having problematic symptoms and/or pain.
•To minimize the probability of requiring surgery.
•To diminish side effects from medications they have to take.
•The patient requests it.
When referring a patient to me, you can expect:
•My evaluation, including treatment recommendations and expected outcome.
•Recommendations on accessory therapies that would benefit your patient.
•Reports on your patient’s improvement and change in condition.
•Support of your adjunctive treatment recommendations, and respect for your treatments.
•My commitment to high quality care.
•Return of your patient to your office.
The end result of collaboration is a healthier patient. Healthier patients are happier patients who will remember and appreciate how thorough their doctor was. Contact me to team up.
