Online Patient Education Library
|
Welcome to our Online Education Library!
I have created this section to serve as a resource for my patients and
their family members so that they may fully understand their diagnosis
and the treatment plan recommended.
Too
many surgeons spend too little time teaching patients about their
condition or injury and do not fully explain how the recommended
treatment will help the problem. I am not one of those types of surgeons.
At every visit you will receive a thorough explanation of your diagnosis and its treatment from me personally.
However, this is only the beginning of your personalized educational
experience. Before you leave the office you will also receive a
personalized Patient Education Prescription, to provide you direct online access to accurate, up-to-date, and easy to understand information about your condition.
EDUCATIONAL ANIMATIONS
PATIENT EDUCATION PRESCRIPTION
Instead of spending hours searching
our library for the right information, we provide you "one-click"
access directly to the information you need. By entering your
"Education Prescription" number or keyword in the box to the left and
hitting submit you will be taken directly to the section of our website
dealing specifically with that topic. No more struggling to remember "What did the doctor call it?"
With your Patient Education Prescription it's as simply as 1-2-3: Type, Click, and Read!
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ORTHOPEDIC SURGEONS
The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons is the national
organization of all orthopedic surgeons dedicated to education about
the practice of orthopedic surgery. They create countless educational
resources both to educate surgeons and to educate the public on all
conditions and injuries that affect the bones, ligaments, tendons, and
nerves. We have provided a collection of their resources for your
educational benefit. Please remember, Dr. Grabow provides this as a
service to his patients, and recommends you visit this section AFTER
you have been seen, examined and your condition has been diagnosed. Do
not initiate any self treatment based on this information without first
consulting a physician. Many conditions may seem similar to you but are
clearly differentiated by a trained professional.
