The on-call provider has limitations in prescribing medicine from phone call encounters after hours. Please remember our office policy is to allow a minimum of 48 hours for all medication refill appointments and for processing of prescriptions so that you do not run out of medication. There may be extenuating circumstances where we may need to see you in the clinic before we prescribe a refill for a certain prescription. This may be, but not limited to, the amount of time since your last visit, the type of drug that is prescribed, or the type of healthcare service that is being addressed."

In order to establish the reason of the referral to the appropriate specialist, we need to see you in the office and have the proper documentation for them as well as your insurance provider. This also makes it easier for us to find a specialist that fits your insurance plan.

• Rude and/or unpleasant comments to staff including foul language. This is true for in person or on the phone.
• Multiple missed appointments without calling ahead to reschedule.
• Failure to show or non-compliance to a specialist with a referral made. These referrals require a lot of staff resources to arrange.

Even though we try to satisfy our patient's needs, we know at times patients may not be happy with their care. We understand there are always opportunities for us to improve. If you do have a complaint or a suggestion, we encourage our patients to address them with our office manager Nancy. We ask that you please give us a chance to make it right prior to reacting on social media. We have experienced some complaints on social media, and at times they were inaccurately. We always protect a patient's privacy and therefore, we will not acknowledge or comment to specifics or even acknowledge someone is our patient. However, if we are aware that someone isn't happy with our services, we will help them take the first step of finding a new provider. Everyone should find a provider they are happy with, even if it is not us.

Please call and we can arrange a meeting with our office manager to see if we can satisfy your needs. Most services are easily done in the clinic.

If you are a new patient, Fleur De Lis Family Healthcare staff will assist you with getting your records from other providers, however, it will save you time if you're able to bring your records with you on your first visit.
