Patient Education

Dr. Aks feels patient education is critical to the success of any treatment and compliance. She feels that knowledge is empowering. “I try to empower my patients by educating them about their disease in terms that they will understand so they will be less fearful. Then, they will have the courage to endure their treatment more successfully and look forward to moving on with their life.”

She also provides excellent patient education brochures and teaching aides for her patients to take home and self educate. In addition there are various interesting books and videotapes to assist in the educational process as well as information on Breast Health on this website and Links to other sites of interest to breast cancer patients.

We also recommend the Namaste website for additional information regarding wellness and healing.
