No. Patients have direct access to chiropractic services. However, we encourage referrals from the staff physicians and offer in-house seminars to facilitate the communication. Where there has been even the most modest efforts of providing the MDs with a better working knowledge of chiropractic it is not uncommon for the physicians to take personal advantage of having a chiropractor on premises. Typically only 10% of patients are refereed by other providers and 90% are self referred.
