There is much debate about the role of evidence-based medicine in making effective healthcare decisions. We?re strong supporters of using medical evidence to determine whether or not a patient should receive a suggested treatment.

However, the debate about evidence-based medicine sometimes goes beyond the practical. One cannot generally apply evidence based medical principals to every case without understanding the specific context of an individual patient diagnosis and treatment. This is where using a panel of board certified specialists who actively perform the procedures that they're reviewing and pairing up those specialists with specific case circumstances is the most effective way to make a decision. It makes sure that not only is the medical evidence taken into consideration when making a patient case, but also that the situation of the patient based on the information in their medical chart.

We believe that evidence based medicine needs to be balanced against the knowledge and experience of doctors who are performing certain treatments and their practical experience in determining what the best treatments are and what the standard of care is.
