Patient commitment
Your health is a shared journey
To reduce waiting times and help as many people as possible, I work with people who are ready to make their health a priority. Please read this before your first consultation.
The commitment
I take full responsibility for my health
and for those that I care for. My responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Learning how to promote my own health and wellness and for those that I care for
- Actively working to eliminate unhealthy habits that no longer serve me
- Eating properly, exercising, and striving to eliminate stressors within my control
- Asking questions when I do not understand the advice offered
- Following the medical advice when mutually agreed upon by my practitioner and me
- Taking my herbal and supplemental medications as prescribed
- Keeping a list of all medications, prescription and non-prescription, and who prescribed them
- Bringing my medication list to every visit
- Knowing when I will need refills, so I don’t run out
- Keeping my follow-up appointments
- Being an active partner in my care
- Being prepared to invest in my health if I need investigations and testing that would help guide treatment
In return, I commit to being 100% invested in your health, drawing on my clinical expertise to guide you with a personalised approach.
