Answers to Your Questions

Respecting patients and families as a health care provider means making them confident when they seek care: confident talking with their doctors and nurses, and comfortable with the process, from making appointments to finding a facility and understanding bills.

The goal of this patient guide is to familiarize Scripps patients and families with the process they might experience, to clarify some of the “unknown” and offer tips and practical information.
