"One of the special things about Radial Health and about physiatry in general is again, our focus is on function. We really want to see how the patient is able to do their activities of daily living. You know, too many times patients say, You know, I felt like my doctor only was worried about like my heart, or only my knee, or only that one body part that they specialized in. Whereas for a physiatry specialist, we're looking at the entire person, the whole person. We want to see how they're able to interact at home with their family in the community. We take that whole person approach to everything we do, and I think that really sets us apart from most other medical specialties."
