I believe that the best way to manage any diagnostic concern or complication is by taking the time to explain to a patient the diagnostic considerations and the risks and benefits of a therapeutic approach. I believe that the more reliable information the patient has, the better the decision making process and this facilitates a true team approach with both the provider and the patient to obtain the best possible outcome.
