I love the camaraderie amongst our team members, providers, and staff alike. We’re great at working together to solve a problem. And I like the multi-disciplinary atmosphere. We have anesthesiologists, physiatrists, neurologists, all working together to help our patients live more comfortable lives. We all have the same goal and having various team members that all come from different backgrounds allows us to be the most effective, thorough, and creative that we can be.
Trust. If a patient does not trust a provider to give the most beneficial and appropriate recommendations, then he or she will be less likely to commit to the recommended treatments. Conversely, if a physician doesn’t trust a patient, then he or she will not listen attentively to the patient and will be less likely to take each of the patient’s individual needs into account.
I always try and remind patients of the importance of staying physically active, either through physical therapy or some form of exercise program. I think this is such a crucial component of recovery but also of maintenance – building the physical resilience to prevent the same problems from happening over and over again.
