The Savoy Standard for Your Online Experience
When you use this website, you are entering the digital home of Dr. Patrick Savoy’s medical practice. We want your experience here to be as transparent and honest as a visit to our Oakdale clinic. By using our site, you agree to follow the rules outlined below, which are designed to protect both your health and our professional integrity.
1. Consultations, Not Just Content
Everything you read on these pages—from our details on RPA therapy to our IV Drip menus—is here to help you learn. However, it is vital to understand that:
- This is Education, Not Treatment: The stories and medical information we share are meant to inform you, but they are not a replacement for a face-to-face evaluation with a surgeon.
- The Clinical Relationship: Simply reading this site or sending us a message through a contact form does not make you a patient of Dr. Savoy. That relationship only begins once you sit down with us in our office and we establish a formal, signed treatment plan for your specific needs.
2. Immediate Action for Emergencies
If you are in a crisis, do not wait for a response from this website. If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, you should call 911 or head to the nearest emergency room right away. Digital tools are great for planning your health, but they are not the place to seek help during a life-threatening event.
3. Protecting Dr. Savoy’s Work
Dr. Savoy has spent twenty-eight years building his reputation and developing the materials found here. We ask that you respect that legacy. All the writing and images on this site belong to our practice. You are welcome to read and learn for your own personal use, but you may not copy, sell, or use our content for your own business purposes without our express written permission.
4. Respectful Online Use
We’ve built this site to serve the people of Central Louisiana. We ask that you use it responsibly. This means:
- You agree not to do anything that would crash our site or make it hard for other neighbors to access our information.
- You agree not to use our contact forms to send advertisements or “spam.”
- You agree to only provide your own information when reaching out to us.
5. Clear Talk About Costs and Insurance
We believe in being straight with you about finances. While we work with insurance for our surgical and diagnostic procedures, our wellness services like Medical Weight Loss and The Drip Clinic are provided on a cash-pay basis.
- Pricing Updates: We do our best to keep our pricing current, but we reserve the right to update our “menus” or service costs at any time to reflect the costs of medical supplies.
- Insurance Check: It is always your responsibility to talk to your insurance company to confirm what is covered before you undergo surgery or specialized testing.
6. Our Digital Responsibility
While we work hard to keep this site accurate and secure, we cannot guarantee that the internet will always be perfect. Dr. Savoy and his staff aren’t responsible for any technical “glitches,” computer viruses, or digital errors that might occur while you are browsing. We provide this site for your benefit, but your use of it is at your own risk.
7. Following the Path to Other Sites
Occasionally, we link to other helpful resources, such as medical education sites or our Facebook page. We don’t control those other websites, so we aren’t responsible for what they say or how they handle your data. Once you leave our site, the rules of that new “neighborhood” apply.
8. Louisiana Law and Your Care
Since we are rooted in the Bayou, these terms are governed under the laws of the State of Louisiana. If a dispute should ever arise regarding your use of this website, it will be handled specifically in the courts of Allen Parish.
9. Updates to Our Terms
As we grow and bring more advanced medicine to the area, we might need to adjust these rules. We encourage you to check this page occasionally to see if anything has changed.
10. Talk to Us
If any of these points are unclear, we want to hear from you. We value transparency and want you to feel confident in every interaction you have with us.
