In
the era of modern medicine and managed care, the role of the physician has unfortunately
been relegated to that of a 'care provider'. In my practice, I strive not only to
explain to my patients the basis for diagnostic tests and treatment plans based on
scientific and evidence-based medicine, but I also hope to make a difference in their
health and well-being by becoming a friend and advocate they can trust... |
