Patient Information


 

Resources available to our patients

As we work in partnership with our patients, please let us know if you find these sites helpful.

Check out these free online health resources.

We don’t recommend that you use a website or anyone but your medical provider to try to diagnose a condition or find the best treatment. But many websites can give you helpful information about healthy living, healthy eating and details about many medical conditions.

We trust the websites below to give you and your family great health information. Of course, before you change your diet or start an exercise program, give us a call. We’d like to help you succeed, as well as make sure any new program is safe for you.

The links will open a new window on your web browser.
