Celebrate Diabetic Patients Who Win Silver: MI Podiatrist
"As a podiatrist working closely with people with diabetes, I know that not all of my patients are going to find themselves in first place all the time. They aren’t going to be 100% adherent to their medications, their diets, or their exercise plans. They aren’t going to be 15 minutes early to every appointment, paperwork in hand. And most of the time, that’s all right because I can clearly see that they are trying their best to achieve the goals that are within their grasp," says Gary Marc Rothenberg, DPM.
 |
|
Dr. Gary Rothenberg |
All improvements are good improvements when it comes to adherence to diabetes management, even if the most heroic efforts in the world are only “good enough” for silver — or don’t yet lead to a place on the main podium at all. For example, a patient who is 70 pounds overweight and loses 5% of their body weight is still not at a “normal” weight, but this weight loss still has a significant effect on A1C. Celebrating successes of all sizes, like this example, can help patients avoid pitfalls and succeed on their journey to improve personal health," says Dr. Rothenberg.

GA Podiatrist Discusses Walking Shoes for Men Over 60
“Proper walking shoes provide essential support to the foot and ankle, helping to reduce the risk of injuries such as sprains or strains” says Gregory Alvarez, DPM, a board-certified podiatrist at Ankle and Foot Centers of America. “For men over 60, this is particularly important as the feet can often lose some of their natural cushioning with age, but good walking shoes can alleviate joint pain, enhance stability, and help prevent balance issues which are crucial as muscles and reflexes begin to change.”
 |
|
Dr. Gregory Alvarez |
But you shouldn’t just wear walking shoes when strictly exercising, because it’s beneficial to wear solid sneakers any time you expect to be on your feet for extended periods—whether that’s at work, playing golf, or doing chores around the house, Dr. Alvarez says.

| PRACTICE MANAGEMENT TIP OF THE DAY | |
10 Collection Tactics for Your High-Deductible Patients
High-deductible health plans are on the rise. Here are 10 methods to ensure your practice collects from patients with these plans.
1. Have a financial policy
Every practice should have a financial policy and every patient should sign it. This document is in essence a contract. In signing it, the patient agrees to follow your rules regarding payment. Fees for no-shows, co-pays, deductibles, the forms of payment you accept all should be included.
