I also acknowledge that I may submit a Grievance to the Provider or Clinical Group Administrator at any time to register a complaint about any aspect of my care. If I am not satisfied with the response I receive, I may submit the Grievance directly to VBH.
Consent for Treatment
I further authorize and request that Dr. Boris Khaimov carry out psychological examinations, treatments and/or diagnostic procedures which now or during the course of my care as a patient are advisable.

I also understand that while the course of therapy is designed to be helpful, it may at times be difficult and uncomfortable.
