Leading Edge Technology
We believe our patients should receive the best care utilizing the latest technology available:
HomMed Telehealth: The HomMed telehealth system consists of a home monitor used to collect such data as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, temperature, and weight. This data is transmitted daily to our office where a nurse reviews the results and consults with the patient and physician if necessary. This system has been especially helpful in reducing emergency room visits and repeat hospitalizations.

Vitalstim Therapy: VitalStim Therapy uses small electrical currents to stimulate the muscles responsible for swallowing. At the same time, trained specialists help patients “re-educate” their muscles through rehabilitation therapy. The clinical data is compelling. 98.4% of patients improved their swallow function score. Even to patients with long-term dysphagia, VitalStim Therapy holds remarkable potential – and abundant hope – for a lasting solution.

Anodyne Therapy: The Anodyne therapy system is a safe, non-invasive therapy that uses infrared photo energy to help reduce pain and improve circulation in patients. This is especially effective for diabetics, who often have low levels of nitric oxide, leading to poor circulation, pain and numbness. As a result of this new treatment, blood flow increases, pain is reduced, and nerve function improves.

Monitoring for Coumadin Therapy: Our nurses can monitor the patient’s Coumadin level at home. Using a simple fingerstick method, immediate results can be obtained and called to the physician. The patient’s Coumadin dose can be adjusted promptly.
V.A.C. (Vacuum Assisted Closure) Therapy is a unique system that may promote wound healing. This negative pressure wound therapy is prescribed by many doctors for traumatic and chronic wound patients. Our wound care nurse is also a certified V.A.C. nurse.
