I believe in first educating my patients about their problems so that they can actively participate in the decision mailing about their own care. I am a strong believer in conservative care. If surgery is eventually required, I will thoroughly evaluate the patient and design the most appropriate procedure for that patient. I will then follow that patient closely in the post-op period to ensure a good outcome.
