Our Philosophy:
We believe the patient’s family and friends provide important support and we encourage them to be as involved as possible in our care of their loved ones.
We believe patients have a right to honest and forthright medical information presented in a manner they can understand.
We believe that a calm, caring and cheerful environment minimizes patient stress.
We believe that all our actions should be guided by integrity, honesty and compassion.
We believe that true success comes from doing the right things for the right reasons.
We believe that efficient, quality eye care is provided best by professionals practicing at the highest level of their expertise.
We believe that the ultimate measure of our success is the complete satisfaction of the doctors who entrust us with the care of their patients. We believe that patients receive the highest quality of care when doctors in different areas of expertise combine their skills. Cooperation and symbiosis of this type is termed co-management. For patients to realize the full benefits of successful co-management, relationships between the doctors involved must be built on a solid foundation of mutual trust and respect. Our highest duty is to treat the patients entrusted to our care as we would wish to be treated. |
