Team members respect the importance of maintaining communication with each patient's primary care physician. They keep the physician up-to-date on the patient's condition, treatment and progress-and on any other important factors concerning a patient's well-being.
We are available to assist physicians who contact us to review a patient's condition and to provide a second opinion regarding diagnosis and treatment.
