The ‘Care’ in Patient Care
Today we often hear members of the medical community referred to as belonging to the ‘healthcare industry.’ Speaking of healthcare in terms of industry has the dangerous potential to overshadow what’s truly at the heart of what we do. Serving people.
The Genstler Philosophy
At Genstler Eye Center, we’re committed to providing true care as healthcare providers. This philosophy is formed by a few core tenets held by the staff at Genstler.
