A Prop. 215 recommendation written from our office is good anywhere in th.e State of California. We will ultimately require confirmation of your diagnosis from your MD (or DC, DPM, or DDS as appropriate). We work with our patients to develop appropriate case documentation as per the routine standards of medicine -the only acceptable standard of valid legal protection a 'Prop 215' recommendation can. provide. Please bring an official picture ID for proof of 1D and age. A? L patients (and any caregivers) MUST be at least 18 years of age and no longer attending high school. Exceptions in extreme cases can be made, so please feel free to call and discuss your situation.
