The information provided on this website, https://www.advancedmedclinics.com and https://www.advancedmedicalclinics.net and any related materials are intended for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice or relied upon as a substitute for professional medical diagnosis, treatment, or advice.  The content presented on this website is not intended to create a doctor-patient relationship or serve as a comprehensive source for addressing individual health concerns. 

A doctor-patient relationship with Advanced Medical Clinics, LLC., hereafter "AMC", and its doctors and providers is only formed after a prospective patient has 1). completely filled out and signed the AMC intake paperwork in its entirety including HIPPA forms, EHR Form, Informed Consent, and AMC Patient Intake Forms, and the AMC written Patient Agreement setting forth our patient self-pay fee structure and other terms to represent the patient in a specific matter; 2). had a face-to-face or telephonic new-patient history completed; and 3). completed a new-patient examination from an AMC physician; and 4). the AMC physician accepting the prospective patient as a "AMC Patient"  and 5) an AMC corporate officer accepting the prospective patient as an AMC Patient by signing the patient agreement. Information sent through USPS, fax, e-mail or telephonic communication does not establish a doctor-patient relationship.   

AMC offers prospective patients a Free Consultation. The free consultation is just a +-15 min meeting with one of the doctors or providers of AMC to allow the prospective patient to tell us their story and describe their problem and for us to discuss our possible solutions and whether we think we can help the prospective patient. This free consultation does not establish a doctor-patient relationship. As such, No medical notes or patient encounter paperwork is made by the doctor(s) doing the free consultation. 

From time to time AMC will run a special offer of a free examination. This free examination only happens after the prospective patient has completely filled out and signed the AMC entire intake paperwork, had a face-to-face new-patient history and new-patient examination from an AMC physician, the prospective patient enters into the AMC written patient agreement including our self-pay fee structure and other terms to represent the patient in a specific matter and finally the AMC physician and an AMC corporate officer having accepting the prospective patient as a patient by signing the patient agreement. Should all of the above in this paragraph take place then this prospective patient shall be accepted as a patient and establish a doctor-patient relationship.

Side effects, also known as adverse reactions, are unwanted undesirable effects or symptoms that may be caused by medical, chiropractic, or exercise physiology-kinesiology procedures or treatment. They are possibly related to a medication, procedure, therapy, or other treatments. As an example, side effects can vary from minor problems like a runny nose, upset stomach, dry mouth, and drowsiness to life-threatening events, such as a stroke, heart attack or organ damage. No doctor can predict all side effects. A side effect is considered serious if the result is: death; life-threatening; hospitalization; disability or permanent damage; or exposure prior to conception or during pregnancy caused birth defect.

All medicines can cause side effects, including prescription medications; over-the-counter (OTC) medications; and complementary medications; including but not limited to herbal preparations; nutraceuticals; vitamins and minerals; homeopathic remedies; nutrient supplements; amino acids; peptides; fatty acids; enzymes and antioxidants; botanicals and phytonutrients; food concentrates and extracts; compounds and compounded products. Several things can affect who does and does not have a side effect when taking a medication – age; use of other medications, vitamins, or dietary supplements; or other underlying diseases or conditions (for example, diseases that weaken the immune system or effect the function of the kidneys or liver). Prescription medications; over-the-counter medications; and complementary medications can also interact with each other and cause significant side effects. Certain foods you eat may cause side effects with prescription medications; over-the-counter medications; and complementary medications. 

Results Vary Patient to Patient.
