Ophthalmologists

Ophthalmology
Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that deals with the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eyeball. An ophthalmologist is a specialist in medical and surgical eye problems.

Urology
Urology focuses on the medical and surgical treatment of the genitourinary system in both men and women. The scope of their specialty includes diseases of the kidney, ureter, bladder, prostate, urethral, and male genital structural disorders and injuries. They often coordinate care with nephrologists for patients with kidney disease. Diagnostic procedures are very important for urologists. They are trained in endoscopic, open and minimally-invasive surgical techniques. These specialists see male and female patients and work in both the hospital and clinic settings. Excellent surgical skills, manual dexterity, and hand-eye coordination are important to this specialty.
Kidney Cancer
Kidney Stones
CT imaging uses radiation to produce cross-sectional images or “slices” of anatomy, like the slices in a loaf of bread. The cross-sectional images are used for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Computed Tomography is used to detect bone fractures, cancer, lung disease, stroke, head bleeds, kidney stones, appendix, liver disease, urinary tract problems, aneurysms, vessel stenosis, bowel/stomach issues, and much more. Patients are put onto a table that slides back and forth through a “donut” shaped machine, and most exams only last a few minutes. Claustrophobia is usually not an issue due to the speed of the test and the size of the machine. Some exams require contrast to be administered depending on the exam and the diagnosis. The contrast can be given orally, IV or sometimes via both routes.
Endoscopy
General surgeons are trained to manage a broad spectrum of diseases and injuries affecting almost any area of the body that requires surgical intervention. These physicians are involved in diagnosis, preoperative, operative and postoperative care of the surgical patient, and they are trained to provide comprehensive management of trauma and complete care of critically ill patients with underlying surgical conditions. The surgeon uses a variety of diagnostic techniques, including endoscopy, for observing internal structures, and may use specialized instruments during operative procedures. Although its scope is broad, general surgery usually involves the abdomen, breasts, peripheral vasculature, skin, and neck. General surgeons rarely perform neurologic, orthopedic, thoracic, or urologic procedures, but they are familiar with other surgical specialties and know when to refer a patient to another specialist.

Neurology
Neurology involves the treatment of disease or impaired function of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, muscles, and autonomic nervous system, as well as the blood vessels that relate to these structures. Neurologists treat patients who have a variety of disorders, including headaches, strokes, seizure disorders, multiple sclerosis, dystonia, muscular dystrophy, peripheral nerve disease, learning disorders, traumatic injuries to the nervous system, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and Alzheimer’s disease. Some neurologists are also engaged in neurological rehabilitation. Many neurological problems can be chronic, debilitating, and difficult to treat. A large portion of the practice of neurology is consultative, but the neurologist may also be the primary physician.
Multiple Sclerosis
Disorders that may cause spasticity include stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, brain or spinal cord tumors, and other disorders of the central nervous system. The treatment of spacticity includes physical, pharmacological and surgical procedures. Each one has its own merits but also disadvantages. In recent years, injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) becomes one of the most important methods to treat spasticity.

While obesity is not an endocrine disorder, it may be a complication of many endocrine conditions. Endocrinologists frequently treat high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity when associated with endocrine conditions.

X-Rays
Nuclear Medicine
PET/CT is a type of Nuclear Medicine exam that uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose, treat, and determine the severity of a variety of diseases. One of the main uses of PET/CT is to help stage cancer; but it is also used for other diseases throughout to the body. Because PET/CT is used to pinpoint molecular activity in the body, it offers the potential to identify diseases at their earliest stages and also determines the patient’s immediate response to therapeutic interventions. PET/CT exams take about 2 hours for the the entire exam process. A radioactive tracer is injected into the patient, and then a patient relaxes in a room by themselves for an hour. The patient is then placed on a table and are moved through a tunnel. During the scan portion of this test; a set of CT images are taken and then a set of PET images are taken. The two sets of images are then combined to get a detailed cross sectional image that helps locate any potential disease.

General Surgery
Orthopedics
Surgery imaging is done at our surgery center with a machine called a C-arm. This device is basically used during surgeries to help aid physicians in the surgery process. Specialists in fields such as surgery, orthopedics, trauma, vascular surgery and cardiology use C-arms for intraoperative imaging. This device provides high resolution x-ray images in real time (Fluoro Imaging) so physicians can make changes as needed during the surgery and ultimately help recovery time, eliminate follow-up surgeries and reduce cost to the patient and healthcare facility.
Sciatica
MRI is a radiology procedure that uses magnetism, radio frequencies, and a computer to produce images of body structures. It is used to diagnose many different problems or issues. Some of those issues are: Cancer, MS, tears in ligaments/tendons/muscles, bleeds, strokes, TIA’s, aneurysms, lesions, masses, stress fractures, infections, spinal stenosis, sciatica, and ruptured discs. Usually we scan one body part at a time, due to the long scan times. Each scan ranges from 30 minutes up to about an hour for one body part. The patient is placed on a table and is moved into the MRI machine which resembles a tunnel. The body part being scanned is placed in a coil which helps capture the radio waves and helps create the image; then placed in the center of the tunnel. Claustrophobia is a concern in MRI; for those patients who experience nervousness in closed spaces we suggest they ask their physician for some medicine to relax them. Our MRI technologists are trained to work with claustrophobic patients to assist them during the exam. MRI machines make loud knocking and vibration noises, and ear protection is given to all patients. Contrast is given to patients for some exams depending on body part being scanned and the accompanying diagnosis.
