When you travel to a large health care system for surgery, you turn into Patient X on a busy surgeon’s checklist. At a smaller, community hospital like MCHS – Dickinson, the people caring for you are your neighbors and friends. Plus, you can work with the same team throughout the entire process – from initial consultations through recovery. Your primary care doctor and surgical team are all on the same page with the same goal of getting you healed.
When you find care close to home, you don’t have to sacrifice your time, money and comfort.
Long distance travel before, and especially after, orthopedic surgery is uncomfortable for the patient. Not only that, traveling for surgery means having to pay for gas and car maintenance, spending multiple nights in a hotel room and having to buy food from restaurants.
Sarah Venditti, MD at the Orthopedic Practice at Dickinson – Marshfield Medical Center, says, “Having to get in the car and drive just days (or sometimes hours) after a surgery can be uncomfortable for the patient and add risk of complications. Not only that, you have to spend a significant amount of money on travel costs alone. When you have surgery at MCHS – Dickinson, our team works with your primary care doctor to support you through the entire process. While we know traveling to see a specialist can sometimes be unavoidable, we are happy to work with our patients during that process to provide support and help them heal once they return.”
When you find care close to home, you are closer to the people who care for you.
Having surgery close to home means having better access to more of your loved ones who can visit you during your recovery. Instead of being away from home, both you and your support system will have immediate access to the people you need to help you heal.
