From First Contact
Our patients tell us that our office is strikingly different
from those of most other health care professionals. From the
moment a patient walks in the door, and is immediately recognized
and warmly greeted by our enthusiastic and personable staff,
the sense of relief from life’s concerns is immediate
and palpable. You will always be nurtured here.
The Personal Touch
The difference continues to be apparent in the personal touch
which is the common thread through all patient interactions.
Patients frequently comment on how they feel taken care of
in a personal way, that they feel that we truly care about
them as individuals, whether it is felt through the hands
of the doctor or the staff’s attention to detail.
The Patient's Needs Come First
Our guiding principle is one of partnership with our patients
in getting to the source of their health issues and developing
effective strategies to best manage their commitment to optimal
health.
What The Patient Faces
We live in an age when knowledge of the healing arts is expanding
at a tremendous rate. While this is ultimately beneficial,
it has unfortunate side-effects. Patients are faced with a
daunting array of experts and healing modalities, wondering
which ones will work best for them.
The Conundrum Of Specialization
Health care practitioners are faced with the prospect of needing
to specialize, since the body of knowledge is too immense
for one person to know it completely. This need for specialization
naturally leads to the tendency for health care practitioners
to recommend only within their field of expertise, even when
another approach might prove to be more beneficial.
This is not our approach.
Teamwork Is The Solution
At Los Altos Family Chiropractic, we feel that the patient's
needs are best served by a team approach. Within our clinic,
this means utilizing the talent pool of our team of well-trained
professionals. However, when we see that a patient is best
served by visiting another practitioner, whether they are
an Acupuncturist, Endocrinologist, Surgeon or Nutritional
Counselor, we do not hesitate to refer. We view ourselves
as part of each patient's health care team. We win when they
win, whether or not we achieve the goal personally.
