Recovering At Home After Surgery
There is no doubt patients recover faster at home, affirms Dr. Alexander Van der Ven, Orthopedic Surgeon with Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute.
“We’ve seen some of our best results on our outpatients," he says.
Empowering the patients, educating them and finding supportive family members and friends, physical therapists to help motivate them and making the patients feel like they are getting better are important to make sure they’re reaching their goals, the doctor argues.
