What to Ask When Choosing an Eye MD Ophthalmologist Dr. Daniel Paskowitz, of Eye Care Specialists, suggests considering the following when seeking medical, surgical or laser eye care: What are the doctor’s credentials?

How many years of individual experience (not combined with others in their practice) do they have? Do they have special certifications or training?

Are they a solo or team practitioner?

A team structure has the advantage of enabling the sharing of questions, ideas and techniques between doctors, as well as 24-hour back-up coverage from another qualified MD. Where do they call home?

Doctors who live in the same communities where they work often have a greater commitment to and stake in the community. Some practitioners actually live in other cities or states and only travel back and forth to the Milwaukee area to do surgery – leaving support staff to handle the majority of care.

Were they voted “Top Doctors” by their peers?

The experience and trust of other doctors is validating. Do they routinely co-manage care and provide patient and professional educational materials and training?

Are options presented that fit your specific medical needs, lifestyle and budget?

Do they accept your insurance?

Are out-of-pocket costs explained?

Are you being pressured to accept treatments or devices (like special cataract lens implants) that are beyond your comfort, needs or means? If so, seek a second opinion.

The Clare Gardens are just one of the many activities and experiences residents can enjoy at MCH. Through MCH’s “A Life Engaged” program, residents can attend lectures, painting classes, book clubs, cultural outings and more. Located on the East Side, MCH also gives residents easy access to shopping, restaurants and parks. “We have an excellent, hard-working staff who go out of their way to give our residents the very best experiences,” says Linda Cardinale, MCC’s director of sales and marketing. “We pride ourselves on having a friendly, caring culture which fosters friendships and opportunities for growth.” milwaukeecatholichome.org

A Celebration of Life Krause Funeral Homes plans personalized, unique services.

A funeral need not be somber. These days, the trend is to make funerals a rich and unique celebration of the individual’s life, according to Mark Krause of Krause Funeral Homes. By planning the service ahead of time, Krause is able to help people craft a unique event tailored to their personality. This includes choosing music, décor, photos to display, readings and other personal touches. Food service has increasingly become part of the event, encouraging relatives to socialize and spend time sharing reminiscences of the deceased loved one. “Deciding these things beforehand with a funeral home can avoid a lot of frustration in the future,” Krause says. “And we can achieve that unique, personalized celebration of your life.”
