“It is my belief that my chosen profession as a health-care provider is a sacred responsibility and my relationship with my patients a sacred trust. Every day I strive to do my utmost to provide the best care possible for my patients, using every resource that I have available. My resources include my education and knowledge; my own years of experience and the relationships that I have built with other practitioners; and my time and energy. Additionally, the other practitioners in my office bring their own vast resources to the practice.

 
As a practitioner, I am one human being trying to help many people. The other side of this sacred trust is what I ask each of my patients to bring to our relationship. My personal experience as a patient and as a practitioner has led me to the conclusion that the person who can take part in their treatment by drawing on their own resources of time, energy, open-mindedness, willingness to learn, and the most positive attitude that they can muster, will make greatest use of what I can offer.  In this manner we will, as a team, best achieve the results we are seeking.”
