Arbitration
Agreement
What
Is An Arbitration Agreement?
You deserve
the very best medical care. Our surgeons are dedicated to
providing just that. Unfortunately, a serious healthcare crisis
is facing our community that threatens our ability to provide
you with the care you need. Because Florida law doesn’t
do enough to stop frivolous lawsuits, doctors’ malpractice
insurance rates are skyrocketing out of control, forcing physicians
to stop doing high-risk procedures. General Surgery is considered
high-risk.
In order for our surgeons to continue doing this procedure,
Surgical Group of Gainesville will ask you to sign an arbitration
agreement. A copy
of this agreement is included with this
letter. The arbitration agreement simply states that (By
signing the agreement you are waiving your rights to a jury
trial and you are agreeing to arbitrate all claims arising
out of or related to your medical care and treatment from
Surgical Group of Gainesville PA’s doctors and/or staff.)
During your first visit we will be showing you a short six-minute
video explaining this agreement in greater detail. At the
end of the video we will try and answer any questions you
may have about the arbitration agreement. You will be asked
at that time to then sign the agreement. If you elect not
to sign the arbitration agreement for whatever reason, your
visit and future care regarding your surgery will be concluded
at that time.
We are pleased you have selected Surgical Group of Gainesville
for your surgical needs and look forward to assisting you
with this process.
