Divorce, Separation & Custody Matters

We believe that such matters should not enter into a child's medical treatment.
The individual accompanying the child, who is requesting the medical treatment, is responsible for payment of the medical bills. We are not a party to your divorce agreement, you are. We will collect co-pays and deductibles from the accompanying parent.
"Joint Custody" means that each parent has equal access to the child's medical care records. Without a court order, we will not stop either parent from having access to their child's chart, obtaining their child's test results, making an appointment or receiving advice.
Subject to a court order to the contrary which has been provided to us, we will not call the absent parent for consent prior to treatment.
We will discuss with the accompanying parent information pertinent to the child's history, present exam, and proposed treatment.
We reserve the right to charge an administrative fee for copying records should the request become excessive.
Should the Issues that come between parents become disruptive to our practice, we will consider discharging the patient from further treatment.
