I’m hoping it is & that I’m not unnecessarily worried. It was just odd to see it as it was the first page of the stack of papers I was asked to fill out in a waiting room at a potential surgeon’s office (even before the page with my name, address, etc.) I’ve never sued anyone & it felt a bit on the hostile side for this to be the first thing that was given to me.

Answer: Arbitration clauses are routine in some surgeon's office whose malpractice carriers encourage it as a first step should things not work out as desired and solutions cannot be reached amicably. Some surgeons (like myself) choose not to employ the arbitration agreement for their own reasons. I'm confident that I can rectify any issues myself to avoid any malpractice lawsuits and have had a pretty clean career so far. But carriers offer it to their clients and using it does not imply your surgeon does not trust you... but having it can prevent headaches down the road if solutions cannot be reached.
