Policy on Family-Centered Medical Care
At Framingham
Pediatrics, we believe strongly in
the important relationship between the family pediatrician and
the family. Because we are able to provide the best medical care when
we have a relationship with the whole family, all children in a family
will have the same primary care
physician within our practice. We do recognize that on
occasion
young teenagers will be more comfortable with a physician of the same
gender, so we will allow patients to switch pediatricans to a physician
of the same gender once they reach 12 years of age or older. This is
the only exception to our family based policy, and is the only time
that we will allow patients or families to change physicians within the
practice.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
