Care Philosophy
This content was provided by Dr. Schwarz "1. I focus on establishing the correct diagnoses, rather than our all too common band-aid plan. 2. I follow our oath, " First do no harm". 3. All patients are screened with basic questionnaire forms; is there any depression or anxiety associated with the pain? 4. Then basic assessments for ADLs; activities of Daily Living. We are human, we make mistakes. Patients are not discharged for not rigidly following a plan, but we work together to improve. How can we help each other?"

Patient Comments (5)
We encourage feedback. Some refuse to accept all medical advice, have abused all resources, or are refused other treatment and come to us as a last resort. We don't force treatment, but provide the best evidence-based clinical solutions, consulting colleagues when indicated. Our intakes often take 2 hrs, due to the complex psychosocial nature of the underlying disease. Some are not ready to accept their disorder. We sincerely hope the author (can't admit/deny if patient) finds peace of mind.
I cannot acknowledge or deny the existence of a patient. I can only say that I am grateful to Drs Chaudhuri, Dietrich, Allison, Hageman, Merrick, both Starks, Wright, Knotts, Sternfeld, Kovalik, and Sferra from Toledo and Buchman, Chung, Kuzon and Wilkins from U Mich for teaching me the importance of taking care of the ENTIRE patient. A surgeon MUST be a physician first, and treat every aspect of our patient. Our patients come first. We took an oath: It is my pleasure.
