CODE OF CONDUCT
Marin Gastroenterology asks that patients be responsible participants in their care. Our expectation of responsible participation includes keeping your appointments and arriving on time, being considerate towards your provider, their staff members and other patients. We do not condone the use of profanity or arriving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Patients who choose not to abide by this code of conduct, will be terminated from the practice. If you are requiring a medication refill and have not been seen by the prescribing MD here at the practice in over 6 months you will be required to make an office visit prior to your prescription being renewed.
