relationships.
Dr. Abernathy practices medicine by fostering relationships with her
patients and discussing the treatment options to determine what works best
for them and their lifestyle. Her goal is to have an in-depth conversation
about what the problem is, what the treatment options may be, and what she
would recommend based on this information. That way she and her patients
can come up with a treatment plan that the patient feels comfortable with
and understands.
