Patient Education
Patient education is key at Carolina Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Specialists, not only to inform on diagnosis and treatment options but also to help manage patient anxiety. During your examination, our surgeons, physician assistants and certified medical staff will communicate with you to ensure you understand your diagnosis, the treatment options available and what a return to normal activity will look like. We encourage patients to ask questions and advocate for their healthcare needs. Family and loved-ones are always a welcome part of the care plan discussion.
