Designation of Consent for Another to Authorize Treatment Logo
  • Designation of Consent for Another to Authorize Treatment

    This form must be completed by the minor's parent or legal guardian
  • It is best practice to see minors with their parent or authorized guardian present. If you cannot be present at the appointment with your minor, we are legally obligated to have your written authorization before we treat your minor.

     

    This form allows you to pre-designate adults that can accompany your minor at future visits and consent to treatment for your minor by exercising their own best judgement upon advice of Spectra Health licensed personnel.

     

    Our clinic staff and providers reserve the right to postpone any non-urgent procedure if proper consent cannot be obtained before the time of an appointment.
