Treatment Outcomes and Results Disclaimer
No Guarantee of Results
While we provide professional medical care according to current medical standards and best practices, we cannot and do not guarantee specific treatment outcomes, results, or cures. Medical treatment involves inherent uncertainties and risks.

Diagnostic and Testing Limitations
Accuracy of Tests
While we use reliable laboratory and diagnostic services, no medical test is 100% accurate. False positives, false negatives, and borderline results can occur. Some conditions may require multiple tests or specialized testing not available at our facility.
Test Result Interpretation
Test results must be interpreted in the context of your clinical presentation, medical history, and physical examination. Abnormal results don't always indicate disease, and normal results don't always rule out medical conditions.
Referral When Necessary
When conditions require specialized expertise, advanced testing, or treatment beyond our scope of practice, we will refer you to appropriate specialists or facilities. We encourage you to follow through with recommended referrals promptly.
