Medicine is not a product to buy. It's a relationship between you and your doctor.

Medical providers hold immense power through their knowledge of the body, power which can be used ethically as a servant for the public good, or selfishly for personal gain. Because of the power and influence medical professionals have over your rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” 1 they have been held to a higher ethical standard since the days of the Hippocratic Oath and the ancient Greeks.
Is your medical provider treating you ethically? Three primary ethical principles should govern your medical provider’s communication with you:
CompassCare’s professional physicians and nurses are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards. We help turn fear into confidence by ensuring that you are respected, cared for, and well informed.
CompassCare’s Patient Bill of Rights further demonstrates how you can expect to be treated during your Free Appointment for pregnancy services or STD testing.
