philosophy of care
We know how overwhelming or impersonal a doctor’s appointment can feel. During our appointments, we would rather speak with you face to face than be buried in your medical chart. We will take the time to explain any procedures, treatments, or diagnoses to you so that you are an informed and empowered patient. Clear, personal communication with patients is the foundation of our care.
We will always prioritize noninvasive intervention over drastic, traditional procedures still used in many hospitals today. Amputation of a limb should be a last resort, not standard practice. Using diagnostic testing, comprehensive wound care, artery treatments, and vein treatments, we always take your quality of life into the highest consideration. Your overall health, livelihood, and independence matter to us. Our mission is to help you back on your feet so you can keep living the life you love.
