| Practice Philosophy |
|
Dr. Chodos and Goracci's practice philosophy is to take a careful, detailed history from each patient so they understand the issues at hand. They then proceed in a logical step-by-step fashion to try and solve or deal with the problem with a careful diagnostic evaluation and then treatment once the diagnosis is clear.
