Policies

If possible, I request to be paired with experienced technicians who are familiar with the practice flow, medications, protocols, costs, etc. Every practice is different and this will greatly aid my efficiency. I will delegate whenever I am able to - while I can perform technical duties, I feel that my time is better spent performing tasks that a technician is unable to do.

I practice and strongly encourage the use of minimal restraint techniques and positive reinforcement. I treat all of my patients with respect and interact with them in a gentle manner. This sometimes means that particularly stressed or aggressive patients may be sent home with trazodone and/or gabapentin and asked to return at a future date to help keep both staff members and patients safe and happy.

I particularly love using peanut butter and Cheese Whiz to help motivate patient cooperation!

I practice evidence based medicine and strive to follow AAHA guidelines. If your practice deviates from these guidelines, I request that technicians be knowledgeable enough to discuss your policies with clients, and I reserve the right to practice at my own comfort level.
