Policy

The AMA (American Medical Association) code of ethics states that physicians should adopt a policy whereby patients have the right to request a chaperone during physical examinations/ treatments. Some states have adopted a legal policy for physicians to provide a chaperone for intimate examinations/ treatments.

The Texas State Medical Board states that:

“A policy that patients are free to make a request for a chaperone should be established in each health care setting. This policy should be communicated to patients, either by means of a well-displayed notice or preferably through a conversation initiated by the intake nurse or the physician. The request by a patient to have a chaperone should be honored.”

An opportunity for private conversation with the patient should be provided without the chaperone present, and physicians should minimize history taking and sensitive inquiries while the chaperone is present for the exam. Your chaperone should be your friends(trained health professionals) or family members.

You have a right to refuse a chaperone as well.

Please feel free to change your decision anytime.

[ Medical records or Payment records must be picked up in-person by patients only.]

These policies are to assure both the patient and Dr. Kim that communications are professional and respectful. We encourage patients to know their rights, and to share this information with family and friends.

[ Cancellation/Change/Missed Appointment Policy ]

Our goal is to provide quality medical care in a timely manner. In order to do so, we have had to implement an appointment/cancellation/change policy. This policy enables us to better utilize available appointments for our patients in severe pain needing immediate care.

Cancellation/Change of an Appointment: In order to be respectful of the medical needs of other patients, please be courteous and call the office promptly if you are unable to attend an appointment. This time will be reallocated to someone who is in urgent need of treatment. If it is necessary to cancel/change your scheduled appointment, we require that you call or text at least 48 hours in advance. Calling or texting early in the day is appreciated. Your early cancellation/change will give another person the possibility to have access to timely medical care.

Thermography Scan / Study

Thermal imaging is used to study a broad number of diseases where skin temperature can reflect the presence of inflammation in underlying tissues or where blood flow is increased or decreased due to a clinical irregularity.

Thermography is a non-invasive, safe, diagnostic tool that takes pictures and analyzes changes in the skin’s surface temperature without the use of radiation. While X-rays, ultrasound, and mammography show us the structure of the body, they will miss such things as active inflammation and increased blood supply as found in many illnesses. Thermography is a unique technology that takes a picture and creates a map of the infrared patterns of the body. It is different from other screening tools because it helps you to see how your body functions.
