Patient Education

We know that the better informed patients are about their disorders, the better are the results.

The Internet is a wonderful source of information, however it is sometimes difficult to sort out creditable information from unreliable or downright erroneous information. The major purpose of this website is to provide what we believed is credible and reliable medical information.

Please explore the sections on Diseases, Procedures, Diets and Drugs for patient friendly information on these subjects. Finally the Links section will guide you to other reliable sites of Medical interest on the internet. This list provides only Links which we have personally visited and felt to be quality sites.

The Patient Bulletin for brief Health Tips which may be healpful for every day situations. Seasonal information is for important information about certain situations which may arise that are seasonal in nature such as allergies int spring, sunburn in summer etc.

News is an area with information hot off the press which may be of interest. This will be updated weekly.
