Our Relationship with Patients

We are physicians first. We practice medicine. Our first concern, as one of your doctors, is your health and well being. We treat you with the respect and compassion you would expect from any well-trained, ethical doctor.

Our Relationship with Hospitals/Clinics

We are not employed by any hospitals, surgery centers nor clinics. We, like any other doctors, have privileges to practice medicine at these institutions. We value very highly our good relations with these centers and actively contribute to the ongoing management and quality improvement there. At certain of these centers we have contracts to be the exclusive providers of anesthesia services. We recognize that participation in the clinical services at hospitals, clinics and surgery centers is a privilege which carries many responsibilities.

Our Relationship with Insurance Plans/HMO's

We have in place contractual relationships with most of the payors, large and small, active in our service areas, specifying us as preferred providers. If you have questions about your specific plan please call our business office, (503) 299-9906 and ask for Janet Smith.
