For patients under 18 and/or adult patients with a legal guardian, the intake paperwork must be completed by someone with legal authority to consent to medical services on their behalf. If legal authority of a minor patient is contested (divorce/separation/foster care/temporary guardianship), please include documentation of legal authority when sending the completed intake forms to our office.
