“Many patients are now feeling a sense of empowerment in regards to their health conditions, and it’s true. Treatment is no longer exclusive to diagnosis and prognosis provided by the physician. Fortunately, many of my patients understand their power to influence their health through simple but important lifestyle choices. There will always be the need for the expertise of medical professionals and specialists, but now it has grown beyond that. There is a need to cultivate relationships with our patients, maintain good communication and ultimately provide the information and support that they can use when we’re not there.”
