I'm Doctor Steven Arbit. I'm a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist.
In patient care, we like to bring the whole patient into the decision making process.
Gone are the days where the physician said to the patient this is what you need to do.
Now we work together, we bring out options and say to the patient based on my experience
in education and treating other patients like you, this is what I recommend. So, it's really
a team approach, especially in dealing with patients with rehabilitation needs.
We don't believe in giving patients prescriptions and medicine, and then sending them to surgery,
we like to have them be active in their own healthcare to allow them to get their fullest
potential. Whether its on a rehabilitation standpoint if they have had a stroke or pain
from a back problem or neck problem. In general, its our philosophy in our practice, we spend
extra time with patients- to give everyone whatever time they need so they feel they've
been listened to- especially in dealing with patients in pain.
