COMPREHENSIVE CARE THROUGH EDUCATION

Education is extremely important in aiding patients in understanding their disease process. Often times, patients come to the Clinic on a number of medications and have no idea why they are taking them. To improve compliance, it is vital that patients understand their disease process and the importance of taking prescribed medications regularly. Patients sometimes think that they can stop taking their medications because now their blood pressure or their cholesterol levels have improved. They do not realize that they must continue to take their medications consistently to control their chronic disease. We teach diabetic patients the importance of checking their feet regularly to make sure they are not developing wounds. We educate them about the importance of getting their vision checked to ensure they are not developing issues with their vision because of their diabetes. Educating patients about their chronic illnesses allows them to take charge of their health.
