Our practice philosophy of Wellness and Health maintenance supports use of Annual Physicals for unmasking new problems, Preventive Care and screening, to avoid health issues, and Management of Chronic Conditions you may already have. This uses Sick visits, Well visits, and Follow-Up Rechecks. Hospital inpatient care is also available, as Dr. Korcz holds privileges at UAB-Medwest.
We strive to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow with the balance and feel of old- time medicine. This incorporates the use of technology, electronic medical records, and scientifically proven therapy, with a higher level of care, listening, and compassion than most of our patients are used to receiving at their prior Healthcare experiences. Many patients have shed tears of joy and hope in response to the difference we have made in their lives.
