Aggressive Behavior is Prohibited

AZ Advanced Practice wants to maintain a safe, respectful, and caring clinic where we can provide good care for all patients. To help us meet these goals, we expect patients, family members, and visitors to treat others respectfully while they are here. Inappropriate behavior or language that is rude, disruptive, hostile, intimidating, harassing, or discriminatory towards anyone in the clinic will not be tolerated. Examples of inappropriate behavior include:

• Talking to staff/providers in a way that is too personal and not related to patient care - such as trying to contact staff/providers on their personal time outside the clinic setting, asking staff/providers for a date or to get together in a social setting.
• Written statements sent by mail, portal, email, etc. to clinicians or staff that are harassing, threatening, offensive, or disrespectful.
