A new project for us……

In the very new future, we are going to start a new project here. Physician assisted weight loss. We are currently working with a chiropractor who has written a book about losing weight. It is some of the best researched ideas we have seen yet regarding weight loss. We are now putting some of our own staff on it. We want to be able to explain to patients what to expect from first hand standpoint. We will keep you posted.

Have a healthy day!

Our First Blog

This is our first attempt at blogging, please be patient. We will rant about Insurance Companies, State Laws, some in the legal profession, and other health care providers, all with an emphasis on how they affect our patient relationships. We might even talk about some of the cases we are presently seeing.

We have the unique opportunity to treat all types of patients. We treat everyone from professional athletes to month old babies. The majority of our practice is Personal Injury though. That means we get to help people that have been injured in auto-accidents.

Some of the ideas that our state legislatures are throwing around the state capitol now are just mind boggling. One of the ideas is that if you have been involved in an auto accident, you would only have three days to go to a doctor or hospital. If you didn’t present within three days, the insurance company would not be required to pay for your treatment. This is absurd. More than half of the whiplash patients we treat, don’t start developing any symptoms for at least a week. I am affraid that this will cause a huge backlash and everyone involved in even the most minor of accidents will go to the ER just to cover themselves. We will keep you posted.
