Mission Statement
Here at Dr. Glatz office we strive to provide care that is evidence based and patient centered. We focus on organizing our services and staff around the patient’s needs, rather than the other way round
Patient centered care is defined as:
“Health care that respects and honors patients’ individual wants, needs, and
Preferences, and that assures that individual patients’ values guide all decisions”.
(The Institute of Medicine Committee)
We will achieve this through the following agreed values:
