His approach to treatment

Explain before decisions are made.

The thorough initial examination provides the foundation. Findings are made visible, connections are explained clearly, and possible approaches are discussed together with their implications for time and costs.

Patients should know not only what is recommended, but also why — and which alternatives may suit their situation.
