A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PHYSICIAN:
|
"I believe that a large part of my job involves teaching.
Patients should know as much about their condition as possible. This then
allows them to be involved in the decision-making process regarding
treatment. I try to consider non-operative treatment when it is feasible,
but I know that many patients and their conditions are best treated
surgically. When the patient has more information about their condition
then we can decide on the best treatment option for that patient.”
