We are seeing an uptick in requests for information related to emotional support and service animals. Rick will explain the differences between emotional support and service animals. Rick will also discuss what you need to be thinking about when confronted with a request to bring an emotional support or service animal into the office from the view of both an employer and as a public accommodation. Finally, Rick will discuss the legal and practical implications your office may face if the doctor is asked to write a letter recommending an emotional support animal for a patient.
