 "An educated patient is a healthier patient"

 

 As such we believe it is important to provide our patients with accurate and timely information to help them become partners in their own care. Patient education has always been the main focus of our approach to medical care. This web site has been designed with that objective in mind; to educate our patients, and enhance their understanding of many of the medical issues they face. 

    

 

   As you may know there has been an explosive proliferation of medical sites on the internet. While some are reliable resources, a large number are filled with misinformation which can be harmful and misleading. The links on this site will connect you to sources of information from our practice and will also guide you to web sites that we believe provide accurate and reliable medical information. 

   Since the internet is a rapidly evolving place we will make every effort to keep these links current. This site is meant for information purposes only and is not meant as a replacement for direct interaction with your physician. If you have any health concerns or questions about the material you find at our site or related sites you should always contact your physician to discuss these issues.
