Travel for Treatment
|
When it comes to our health, most of us are creatures of habit: Year in and year out, we tend to call the same doctor and dentist, and pick up our prescriptions at the same pharmacy. There's much to be said for this model, of course – we want our healthcare professionals to know our histories, and we want to feel comfortable with them. But once in a while, this "same old-same old" approach can work to our disadvantage: Sadly, the very best in specialized medical care may not be available in our familiar surroundings. Is it worth the time and expense to consider traveling across town (or even across the country) to seek out another option? Absolutely! Consider this: You and your family probably think nothing about hopping in the car or grabbing a plane when you want to visit out-of-town relatives, or see a particular part of the country on vacation. By the same token, if you needed a kidney transplant, or were facing a rare form of cancer, you'd want to find the most renowned specialists – wherever they were located – to help you. Your concerns about your pelvic pain and endometriosis are equally important. Though your trusted gynecologist may be extremely well intentioned, he or she may not specialize in these areas of treatment. Endometriosis in particular is a very complex disease, and should be treated by a specialist who's well versed in the latest medical and surgical techniques. (Unfortunately, there is no official endometriosis subspecialty, but there are expert physicians who have chosen to specialize in the treatment of endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain.) You wouldn't go see an internist if you had a heart problem. Why not consider the best-possible alternative for your endometriosis? Dr. Cook has a proven track record of gynecologic success – often in cases where patients have not been treated successfully by other physicians (on average, our patients have had four previous surgeries before coming to see us). Dr. Cook and the staff at Vital Health stand ready to help you attain a healthier, happier future. Located in Northern California, we are easily accessible by three airports (from the San Jose airport, our office is only ten miles away), and we're close to abundant, reasonably priced lodging. When you want something done right the first time or you have not had the results you hoped for, it's well worth the investment – and the miles – to find the best. You deserve a healthy future. Call us today, and see how our caring, informed professionals can help you on your journey back to health. |
