Publisher’s note Choosing a doctor can be a confusing and worrisome task, even under the best of circumstances. Quite frankly, it’s not something we look forward to but an essential need for you and your family. The relationship between patient and doctor involves a great deal of trust, openness, and compassion and remains possibly one of the most important decisions we make in our lifetime. We share a common interest, our health. Whether you are choosing a doctor for the first time or changing doctors, you must undertake the decision with care and planning so that the outcome provides the most fulfilling of relationships. Get an early start and find the right doctor for your family So when is it best to start looking for a doctor? As soon as possible. Do not wait until it’s too late. Medical experts advice that the best time to choose a doctor is when you don’t need one at that moment. Don’t wait until you or a loved one succumbs to an illness or emergency to begin looking. This only adds unrelated stress to the decision-making process and increases the chances of making a choice you are unhappy with. From experience, I’ve often seen people turn to family, friends, or coworkers about the right choice for a doctor. These are certainly good places to start and are often the most reliable and readily available sources. However, on many occasions people don’t know anyone who might personally know of a specialty doctor and therefore are left researching online or magazines. A number of other sources can further broaden your search such as county, state, or national medical societies, web-based searches for board certified doctors are available at the American Board of Medical Specialties, various referral agencies can help as well, while many community hospitals have “Find-a-Doctor” referral centers. These are all good options if you have a lot of time on your hands. Unfortunately, it still does not make it easy on you. Prioritize Requirements & Make It Easy The best choices are usually made after some research and prioritizing your family needs. There are approximately 25,000 physicians alone in Houston and Greater Houston. So where do you start? Here! Our team of researchers spent countless hours compiling the best medical list of doctors and hospitals by area to ensure the people of Houston get the best care. Our media team developed an easy to read, beautiful, vibrant referral hard copy and online guide. Our goal is to provide families and business with the best medical list and profile information available today. So how did we do it? We broke it down by the most common questions asked by patients. • Do I need a primary care doctor (family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN) or a specialist (such as cardiologist [heart], pulmonologist [lungs], gastroenterologist [liver and intestines], oncologist [cancer])?

• Is the doctor board certified? Is the doctor highly recommended by other physicians? • Which health plan or hospital is the doctor affiliated with? Is it a preferred provider in your health plan? • Where is the office or hospital location? • How long are the wait times for appointments? How long does it take to get an appointment? • What are the office hours and does the doctor allow for walk-ins? Are there evening or weekend hours? • What is the doctor’s specialty? Final Choice Once we narrowed the search to a handful of possibilities, the final decision is now based on finding the right doctor for you. Even among doctors who are equally qualified, personality and practice style become the important aspects in selecting the right doctor for you. Choose a doctor who communicates well with you, in a way you understand and feel comfortable with, and who explains your condition and treatment to your satisfaction. Sometimes people choose a doctor because “everyone else” they know goes to him or her. This may mean that this doctor is a good doctor, but it may also mean that getting an appointment is difficult.

Health Concerns

Child Obesity

by Debbie Vercher

The top health concerns in Houston and what you can do to prevent them.

hildhood obesity is the number one health concern facing children and their parents in the United States today, even topping smoking and drug abuse. Obese children face a 70-80% chance of staying obese their entire lives. Former Surgeon General Richard Carmona stated “Because of the increasing rates of obesity, unhealthy eating habits and physical inactivity, we may see the first generation that will be less healthy and have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.” Obesity is a serious problem for our nation, but recently Houston was ranked one of the top ten fattest cities in America, according to a study conducted by the American Obesity Society. In the Greater Houston Community fifty-eight percent of adults and thirty-nine percent of the children are classified as overweight or obese; as is two-thirds of the Texas adult population. This obesity rate has nearly doubled in the last fifteen years and is predicted to increase to seventy-five percent by the year 2040, if changes are not made. Fortunately, changes are be6

ing instituted at the state and community level aimed at the children that may help curtail this alarming trend. Obesity prevention experts recommend a comprehensive effort involving health departments, health care practitioners, community programs, schools, parents, caregivers and the kids. The childhood obesity rates are the highest in the lower socioeconomic areas of the city, many of which are known as “food deserts”. These are areas with plenty of fast food available everywhere, and a shortage of grocery stores with healthy food choices. This term was coined by Tracy Ledoux, a University of Houston psychologist and nutritionist who studies childhood obesity. These studies and the obesity rate hike has led the Houston Health Department to establish community gardens and farmers markets in such areas to make healthy produce available to all. A program hoping to help at the community level is Can Do Houston which stands for Children And Neighbors Defeat Obesity. Their mission is to decrease the rate of childhood

obesity in the Houston metro area through nutrition, physical activity and healthy minds by gathering and enabling the broadest collaboration of people, institutions, organizations and local government. The pilot program selected the communities of Magnolia Park and Sunnyside to first receive their benefits in 2008. Can Do has since established three more anchors, comprised of an elementary school and park, in the communities of Fifth Ward, Independence Heights, and Northside Village. They are an umbrella organization that assesses the problems of each area and utilizes those of the programs best suited for those needs. In order to help the whole city of Houston, Can Do stakeholders have created a database listing the 60 programs in Houston available that addresses the problem of childhood obesity. You can find the information at http://ccts.uth.tmc.edu/ ccts-services/resource-lists

New school food regulations have just gone into effect nationwide. HISD had already incorporated many of the changes into their food plan, but students will find an increase of fruits, vegetables and whole grains on their lunch tray. They will also be required to take a fruit or vegetable as part of their meal. This year 21 new â&#x20AC;&#x153;salad barsâ&#x20AC;? will be added to the 3 already in place at elementary schools. They feature fresh and some canned fruits and vegetables rather than a typical lettuce and crouton salad bar. Good nutrition and healthy habits are being taught at all grade levels. Beginning this year, a dietitian will be checking the vending machines and removing items that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t conform to the new tighter standards. The fight against childhood obesity is being waged at the national, state and community levels but the best way to lead your children to a healthy lifestyle is to set a positive example for 2013 | The DOCTORS of HOUSTON

them to follow. Encourage healthy eating habits by planning and preparing nutritious meals together. Make time for them to be active and get exercise at least one hour daily. Cut sedentary activities such as watching tv, computer time, and non-active video games down to two hours a day or less. My lifelong struggle with weight began in fourth grade when my family moved three times to three different states and I didn’t have friends to play with after school because I was “the new girl”. I turned to food as a comfort and entertainment, and established unhealthy eating habits that have plagued me my entire life. I feel guilty that I didn’t provide a better role model for my daughter who is now having her own struggles with extra pounds after the births of her two children. I’m determined to set a better example for my grandchildren. I found a great website during my research for this article that I’m hoping will help me turn my poor eating habits around and develop a healthier lifestyle for myself and my family.

DERMATOLOGY Dermatology is the branch of medicine that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the skin, hair, nails, oral cavities and genitals. Cosmetic enhancement is also part of the science of dermatology. WHAT DOES A DERMATOLOGIST TREAT? Dermatologists can offer a wide array of treatments for non-life threatening skin conditions such as acne and rashes like psoriasis and eczema. Advances in the study of anti-aging treatments have made it possible for dermatologists to effectively treat aging skin. The latest laser treatments work deeply to reverse the effects of sun damage and aging with little discomfort and less lengthy periods of healing. The result is a more youthful appearance.

WHEN TO SEEK A DERMATOLOGIST? Only if such remedies and preventions donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work and you are really suffering from severe types of acne or skin diseases , do you require visiting a dermatologist. Apart from this practical and physical factor, the psychological factor does play a significant role and puts up the question of when to seek a dermatologist? When one begins to feel over conscious about their looks, are anxious and depressed, begin avoiding social gatherings, then it is surely high time to consult a dermatologist.

{ DERMATOLOGY }

s Dr. Kristi Sumpter drives for work each morning travelling down Jones Road, she still feels a sense of excitement about the work she does day in and day out. It has been several years now since she established her own practice and in 2003 as Winds of Change Cosmetic Surgery Specialists opened its doors. Looking back the trip down Jones Road wasn’t an easy one towards the bustling area of Northwest Houston.

cooperative effort. “I want my patients to be happy. I want them to be excited, before, during and after. I’m a bit of a perfectionist. And often the result I aim to achieve is more satisfying to the patient than she originally hoped. “ Jones Road has proven to be a perfect location with her privileges at Cy Fair Surgery Center, Methodist Willowbrook Hospital, and Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center.

Dr. Sumpter grew up in San Saba, Texas, a small central Texas town population of 2,500. Along with her two brothers Bill and Stephen, Kristi was raised by a single mother whom she credits with instilling in her determination and persistence. She was a determined student, and participated in a wide range of sports, including basketball, golf, track, band, and cheerleading. She spent many summers working as a lifeguard at the community pool. The common thread was evident Dr. Sumpter took great interest in excelling in her studies, enjoyed being part of a team and helping people. However, it would be her eventual profession that would lead her out of San Saba and provide the opportunity to travel across the nation.

In July 2009, Winds of Change Cosmetic Surgery Specialists moved into its own building, also on Jones Road, following a two-year building process. This allowed continuing the direction of the practice and the potential for growth while remaining close to its original location.

After receiving her Undergraduate degree at the University of Texas in Austin, Dr. Sumpter went on to earn her medical degree from the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth. She continued to develop necessary skills and experience by completing her internship and general surgery residency at Botsford General Hospital in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Dr. Sumpter returned to her Texas roots shortly after to join a general surgery practice in Lufkin, Texas and quickly established a reputation as a skilled surgeon and excellent communicator with her patients. Experience with cancer patients in particular gave her a unique understanding of the physical and emotional impact, elective and non-elective surgery brings. It wasn’t long before Dr. Sumpter realized she longed for a surgical specialty that could offer the same gratification as general surgery, but allow her an outlet for her creativity and aesthetic talent. Inspired, in part, by her work with breast cancer patients, Dr. Sumpter changed her concentration to cosmetic surgery, a specialty that would allow her to combine her surgical skills and creative talents to achieve results patients could be proud of. This of course would take additional time and training but was a challenge she embraced. She accepted a cosmetic surgery fellowship, recognized by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery at a program based in Orlando, Florida. Dr. Sumpter also undertook additional cosmetic surgery training in Beverly Hills, California. After completing her fellowship, Dr. Sumpter signed on for a relocation agreement with a Northwest Houston hospital and once again returned to the Lone Star State. In January 2003, Winds of Change Cosmetic Surgery Specialists opened its doors in a professional building on Jones Road. Dr. Sumpter opened her own practice to mold it entirely in her vision of what a practice should and could be, with an emphasis on patient care, solid medical science and highly trained skill. The ultimate goal for her is to make the surgical experience a

Today, cosmetic patients do extensive research before selecting a doctor, including board certification and experience, but they are also drawn to someone honest that they can establish a relationship with and feel comfortable trusting. This is the type of relationship that Dr. Sumpter strives to achieve with each of her patients. Many patients have shared they feel she is a friend or a neighbor. To Dr. Sumpter this is the ultimate compliment, in accomplishing easy clear communication necessary for a doctor to provide the utmost care.

“Patient stories are personal. Each one is. It impacts what we do and our approach. It provides a fresh aspect to each patient case that is special.”

Dr. Sumpter holds her staff to the same high standard of service as she does herself, to exceed expectations at every point of contact. “We are here to help patients achieve things they cannot do on their own. For many patients this is a one-time experience that they have anticipated for a long time. We need to treat it with that in mind while having the confidence of our experience and training.” For Dr. Sumpter, the travel back home from work is just as gratifying returning to her home in the Cypress area that she shares with her husband and two dogs. Dr. Sumpter can foresee herself in this line of work for the rest of her life. Driving each day to her practice at 12827 Jones Road in Houston is one that she knows very well and looks forward to the commute for many more years to come. Y

FAMILY & GENERAL A general practitioner is a medical practitioner who treats acute and chronic illnesses and provides preventive care and health education for all ages and all sexes. They have particular skills in treating people with multiple health issues and comorbidities.

Family medicine formerly Family Practice is a medical specialty devoted to comprehensive health care for people of all ages; the specialist is named a family physician, family doctor, or formerly family practitioner. It is a division of primary care that provides continuing and comprehensive health care for the individual and family across all ages, genders, diseases, and parts of the body.[1] It is based on knowledge of the patient in the context of the family and the community, emphasizing disease prevention and health promotion. WHAT DO FAMILY PHYSICIANS DO, AND WHY ARE THEY SO IMPORTANT? Trained in all areas of medicine, family physicians can diagnose and treat the full range of problems people typically bring to their doctors. They know how to care for you and, if necessary, when to bring in another specialist you can trust. Family physicians are experts in prevention, treating most acute illnesses and helping people effectively manage chronic medical problems. They are at the center of your care, coordinating and guiding you through what can be a very confusing and fragmented health care system. Regular visits to a family physician have even been shown to lower the overall costs of health care and improve the health of the people they serve when compared to similar groups who only receive care from subspecialists. In case your general or family physician cannot assist you, he/she will refer you to a specialist.

INTERNAL MEDICINE Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists. They are especially skilled in the management of patients who have undifferentiated or multi-system disease processes. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU NEED AN INTERNIST? Internists are equipped to deal with whatever problem a patient brings -- no matter how common or rare, or how simple or complex. They are specially trained to solve puzzling diagnostic problems and can handle severe chronic illnesses and situations where several different illnesses may strike at the same time. They also bring to patients an understanding of wellness (disease prevention and the promotion of health), women’s health, substance abuse, mental health, as well as effective treatment of common problems of the eyes, ears, skin, nervous system and reproductive organs. So getting one now or when your older is essential for your needs. Internal medicine subspecialties - Internists can choose to focus their practice on general internal medicine, or may take additional training to “subspecialize” in one of 13 areas of internal medicine. Cardiologists, for example, are doctors of internal medicine who subspecialize in diseases of the heart. The training an internist receives to subspecialize in a particular medical area is both broad and deep. Subspecialty training (often called a “fellowship”) usually requires an additional one to three years beyond the standard three year general internal medicine residency

Dr. Urrutia’s tri-country journey through the medical ranks isn’t even the most unique aspect of his practice. Several years into his service at UT-Galveston, he left to form a private practice in the Medical Center- Houston area. His emphasis, therapeutic endoscopy is a highly unique subdivision of gastroenterology. Dr. Urrutia was drawn to gastroenterological endoscopy because of its capacity for early detection of malignant tumors. To advance his knowledge of the emergent field, he holds membership in both the American College of Physicians and the American College of Gastroenterologists, as well as being board certified in both gastroenterology and internal medicine. Gastromedical is certain to help patients with or without insurance. His practice strives on helping individuals who may not be able to afford rising medical cost today.

PAIN MANAGEMENT Pain management (also called pain medicine or algiatry) is a branch of medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach for easing the suffering and improving the quality of life of those living with pain. The typical pain management team includes medical practitioners, clinical psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists. The team may also include other mental-health specialists and massage therapists. Pain sometimes resolves promptly once the underlying trauma or pathology has healed, and is treated by one practitioner, with drugs such as analgesics and (occasionally) anxiolytics. WHEN SHOULD I SEE A DOCTOR ABOUT PAIN? Answer: When it comes to deciding on whether to see a doctor for your pain or treating it yourself, you need to go and kind of evaluate how important is it to you. What we typically tell patients is that if it’s bothersome to you, and if you believe it to be significant enough, it’s important enough to go and see a doctor for that. Now, there are some things that you absolutely have to see a doctor, and are quite emergent to go and see a doctor. For example, if your back pain or if your neck pain develops with associated weakness, loss of sensation, or falls, or other sorts of items, then you should definitely get in to see your doctor as soon as possible. If on the otherhand, you have just mild back pain, typically, of course of just, analgesics like Ibuprofin, Motrin, or other over-the-counter agents, will do sufficient enough relief of your pain.

HOW WILL I KNOW WHETHER I SHOULD GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR MY PAIN OR WAIT TO SEE MY OWN DOCTOR? Answer: There are really three major reasons people come to the emergency department because of pain. The first is a no-brainer: you just have severe pain and you must have it treated right away. That brings patients to the emergency department with fractures, sprains, and there’s really no question of going anywhere else. The emergency department is the only facility that’s available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to take care of your pain. Now the second reason people come to see the pain doctor is because their primary doctor told them to. And this is really very common. Your private physician may hear your symptoms and say, “I need you to go to the emergency department because they have the diagnostic and therapeutic technologies to answer the question.

PEDIATRICS & PEDIATRIC SURGERY Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children and adolescents. A medical practitioner who specializes in this area is known as a pediatrician, or paediatrician. Pediatric Surgery is the branch of surgery concerned with performing surgery on children. There are many subspecialties of pediatric surgery, including pediatric cardiothoracic surgery, pediatric orthopedic surgery and many more. WHEN TO SEEK A PEDIATRIC DOCTOR? Some parents know which doctor or practice they want for their baby before they even conceive. But many start the search during pregnancy and arrive at a decision when they’re seven or eight months along.

WHAT KIND OF PRACTITIONER SHOULD I LOOK FOR? Many parents take their baby to a pediatrician, a doctor who specializes in the care of children. Focusing on children’s health and practicing with kids each day gives pediatricians a leg up when it comes to expertise on children’s medical issues. Other parents prefer a family practitioner, a doctor specializing in family medicine who can treat the whole family, from birth to old age. One advantage these parents point to is that the family practitioner should be well versed in health issues that pertain to your entire family (genetic diseases, for example). Either type of doctor is fine, as long as you feel comfortable and confident about your child’s care.

PODIATRY Podiatry or podiatric medicine is a branch of medicine devoted to the study of, diagnosis, and medical treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower extremity. A Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), is a specialist qualified by their education and training to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and structures of the leg. Podiatric physicians have extensive background knowledge in human anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, sociological and psychological perspectives, general medicine, surgery and pharmacology. Specialist podiatric physicians are podiatrists who are qualified by additional postgraduate training or fellowship training and experience in the specialized field. IS SURGERY THE BEST WAY TO GET RID OF MY FOOT PAIN? A: Surgery is usually used as a last resort with most podiatric problems. All conservative treatment should be exhausted before surgery is recommended. There are some instances where surgery is a first line of treatment, but that is not common.

WHAT CAUSES SORE FEET? A: Sore feet are generally caused by an abnormal foot structure. The foot normally elongates upon weight-bearing causing the muscles on the bottom of the foot to receive a great amount of stress which causes tired burning feet. I explained to patients, this is similar to a patient carrying around 150 lb. dumbbell all day and how the muscles in their arms would feel at the end of the day. Sometimes sore feet are just caused by shoes that are too tight.

WHAT ARE BUNIONS? A: A bunion is a bony deformity usually occurring around the big toe joint. Oftentimes, they are very painful. The common belief is that bunions are caused by tight or ill fitting shoes, but actually, bunions are caused by a mechanical breakdown in the foot. Oftentimes That, when patients have mild bunions and are not interested in surgery, we use orthotics which will help stop the progression of the bunion. Surgery is the only permanent solution for bunions. Orthotics are used after surgery to help prevent the reoccurrence of the bunion.

PSYCHIATRY Psychiatry is the branch of medicine dealing with the study, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders. Psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. All psychiatrists are trained in diagnostic evaluation and in psychopharmacological treatment. As part of their evaluation of the patient, among the mental health professionals only psychiatrists are authorized to prescribe psychiatric medication, conduct physical examinations, order and interpret laboratory tests and electroencephalograms, and may order brain imaging studies such as computed tomography or computed axial tomography (CT/CAT Scan), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography scanning I HEARD PSYCHIATRISTS ARE DOCTORS WHO TREAT â&#x20AC;&#x153;CRAZYâ&#x20AC;? PEOPLE? IS THIS TRUE? No. Psychiatrists are physicians who assist many types of disorders including addictions, depression and learning disabilities that can be treated. It does not necessarily mean they only treat persons with mental illnesses.

HOW DO I FIND THE RIGHT PSYCHIATRIST FOR ME OR SOMEONE I LOVE? Good question. Choosing one of our listed psychiatrists is a start. We do background checks on all of our referred doctors.

SUBSPECIALTIES The field of psychiatry itself can be divided into various subspecialties.[9] These include:

Child and adolescent psychiatry Consultation-liaison psychiatry Cross-cultural psychiatry

Addiction psychiatry

Emergency psychiatry

Adult psychiatry

Forensic psychiatry

Learning disability Neurodevelopmental disorder Neuropsychiatry Psychosomatic medicine Cognition diseases as in various forms of dementia

Because Everyone Deserves the Best Care

Expertise. Experience. Patient focus. These are just a few of the reasons Houstonians seek out the physicians of Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine when bone and joint problems take them out of action.

ee Messer is an active and busy young boy. He can often be found at his local park exploring trails, rollerblading or skateboarding. One day, while out on a walk with his grandparents, he came across a rope swing and decided to try it out. Unfortunately, he lost his grip and fell, severely breaking his arm. “I felt dazed,” he says, after a quick trip to the emergency room of Methodist Willowbrook Hospital, the staff helped calm him despite his painful injury. The complex break required multiple surgeries and a two-week hospital stay. But with the help of orthopedic surgeon Dr. Korsh Jafarnia, his bones made remarkable healing progress, and he was released happy and healthy. “They took my pins out, my doctor said it wouldn’t hurt. And it didn’t!” says Lee, who is already back rollerblading at the park. In seeking a good orthopedic doctor, patients want to find someone who is the best. They will look for someone who they can trust. “Today, it is not enough to determine the ability of a physician by reputation or recommendations from others; patients must also be comfortable working with their doctors, as this relationship may last for many years. ” Orthopedic patients want a doctor who understands the needs of individual patients and a specific approach to providing the best care possible. The Methodist Center for Orthopaedic Surgery has seven locations, 20 orthopedic surgeons and three primary care

The DOCTORS of HOUSTON | 2013

sports medicine physicians under the direction of Dr. Kenneth Mathis. The Methodist Hospital System has been ranked No. 1 in Houston by U.S. News & World Report and is recognized by many other national and local publications. Physicians at the Methodist Center for Orthopaedic Surgery treat orthopedic injuries in individuals of all ages and professions. The center’s expert physicians have extensive training and experience in sports medicine, cartilage restoration and reconstructive orthopedic surgery. A broad array of medical services are available for the treatment and management of conditions and injuries, including disc degeneration, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, hip/knee joint replacement, arthritis, Achilles tendon rupture, foot drop, complex trauma and sports injuries. Advances in orthopedic medicine have facilitated remarkable improvements in medicine’s ability to treat common injuries, including injuries suffered with playing sports. Damage that once meant the end of a person’s ability to participate in sports or other physical activities can now be repaired with little or no

loss of function. Physicians at Methodist are recognized experts in cartilage transplantation to restore function to joints damaged by trauma. And in many cases, these surgical repairs are performed through the use of minimally invasive arthroscopic and microsurgical techniques, helping to reduce recovery time. Another advantage to receiving orthopedic treatment at Methodist is the close coordination with physical therapists and rehabilitation services – allowing seamless coordination of care between orthopedic surgeons and the rehabilitation professionals whose work is a crucial part of the recovery process and the return to normal activity.

In fact, Methodist physicians are frequently seen on the sidelines of the games at many area high schools, where they serve as team physicians and surgical consultants. The experience at Methodist’s sports medicine specialists gain from their work with elite, professional athletes applies seamlessly to their work with student athletes and with patients for whom athletics are more hobby than vocation. Physicians from the Methodist Center for Orthopaedic Surgery join other specialists from Methodist to offer annual youth extracurricular pre-participation physicals for students in school athletic programs. All student athletes are required to have a sports physical before they set foot on the field of play, and the physicals are a great opportunity to be seen by doctors, athletic trainers and other providers who have years of experience in the field of sports medicine. Held each year at Reliant Stadium, the students not only receive a physical, but if a problem is detected, they are evaluated by a specialist on site. Many of the surgeons at Methodist Center for Orthopaedic Surgery have had personal life experiences that influenced their choice of careers. In fact, many of the physicians are former athletes or have had a broken bone or some form of orthopedic surgery which gives them a unique perspective into the physical as well as emotional state of the patient. Doctors at Methodist utilize the latest research and state-of-the-art technology to set new standards and raise the bar for quality of care. Specialists collaborate to offer patients of all ages technologically advanced treatment options for orthopedic and sports injuries and conditions. A Harvard graduate, Dr. Patrick McCulloch played NCAA Division I varsity lacrosse and sustained his fair share of injuries, which helped interest him in orthopedic surgery. “I can empathize with patients,” he says, “and I enjoy taking care of them. I particularly like working with athletes and others who are highly motivated to get back to their active lifestyles.” The ability to stand and move upright on two legs is central to the human experience. One rarely thinks about the physical complexity of the structures involved – or the degree of coordination they require – until injury or disease comprises the function of the hips and knees. For many patients, joint replacement was once a last-ditch operation. Patients faced highly invasive surgeries, a slow recovery period, limited use of the replaced joint, and even failure of the implanted hardware. Joint replacement today is very different. At Methodist, patients are offered a wide range of services to help navigate their road to recovery – from presurgical classes to postsurgical rehabilitation. With an emphasis on minimizing postoperative pain, Methodist surgeons use less invasive surgical methods to reduce the number of tendons and ligaments affected during surgery, dramatically improving recovery time after joint implantation. In just a few short days, patients are back on their feet and reclaiming their lives.

In addition, physicians at Methodist are at the forefront of advancements in joint replacement, including close coordination with physician-scientists who are actively involved in: developing and testing less-invasive methods for joint replacement, designing and biomechanically testing new prosthetic joints, and evaluating and testing new bearing surfaces.

“I particularly like working with athletes and others who are highly motivated to get back to their active lifestyles.” The Methodist Center for Orthopaedic Surgery’s main location is in the heart of the Texas Medical Center, the largest and most technologically advanced medical center in the world. The main location has a new dedicated orthopedic-only operating center with the most technologically advanced operating rooms in the city. Satellite offices in Pearland, Sugar Land, Greenway Plaza, Baytown, Willowbrook and West Houston all offer topflight physical therapists onsite to make it more convenient for patients to come in for evaluation and treatment.

Northwest Houston The Methodist Center for Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine group opened in 2011 in the North Houston area to keep up with increasing demand. This center now has eight physicians on staff to serve all musculoskeletal, orthopedic, and sports medicine needs. The facility has a state-of-the-art therapy center as well as MRI capabilities, an outpatient surgery center and digital X-ray imaging that can perform bone density tests, CT scans and bone scans. Methodist’s Willowbrook location offers leading orthopedic and sports medicine specialists performing the latest procedures for common conditions and sports injuries as well as trauma, complex injuries and degenerative joint problems. These boardcertified orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine physicians offer patients less invasive surgical options such as endoscopic and arthroscopic procedures, reducing risks and recovery time. Dr. Korsh Jafarnia, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, leads the group. He specializes in hand-related conditions including trauma, fractures, tendinitis, arthritis and carpal tunnel. “Our doctors understand the art of healing which includes compassion and understanding of the patient’s predicaments,” says Dr. Jafarnia. “Our philosophy is to utilize the latest research and state of the art technology as a means to provide the best patient care possible.” Interesting and challenging cases motivate the group. There are many instances in which their patients come to them seeking second and third opinions for some of the most complex injuries involving the musculoskeletal system. The Willowbrook team works regularly with rehabilitation specialists and physical therapists, performing the latest in limb preservation and joint reconstruction procedures. Additionally, the team contributes to medical research as both authors and investigators, working towards orthopedic advances and less invasive treatment options.

How common is low back pain and neck pain?

A Low back pain is extremely common, and up to 90% of the American population will experience it. 60% of the population will experience neck pain. Many things can cause low back and neck pain. This pain often results from a minor injury to a muscle or ligament, and will usually resolve on its own. In other cases, the pain indicates a more serious problem and may be the result of nerve compression from a herniated disc, arthritis, fracture, infection or tumor, which may require the treatment of a spine surgeon. Q. Are there different causes of leg and back pain?

Q. How is the specific cause of back, neck, leg or arm pain determined? A. It is important to understand that many things can cause pain, as indicated in a previous answer. The job of the spine expert is to first determine what the cause of the pain is, and once this is discovered, the next step is to try to correct the problem. The first step of determining the cause may involve detective work. Sometimes, the source of pain is obvious and easy to fix, but occasionally it is difficult to determine and hard to

Q. Once the cause of pain is determined, what are the treatment options?

Certified by the American Board of

A. The treatment options may vary, depending on the desires of the patient and doctor. At times, a conservative approach consisting of physical medicine, mechanical traction, manual adjustments, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, massage and heat may be sufficient. Sometimes, epidural injections, nerve blocks, facet joint blocks or rhizotomies, or sacroiliac joint injections may help. When more conservative measures fail, or are not appropriate, surgical measures may be needed. These may consist of minimally invasive approaches to the spine, or traditional approaches, in order to achieve nerve decompression or spinal fusion.

A. Pain to an extremity such as the leg (or arm) may be caused by something pressing on the nerve going to the extremity. This radiating or shooting pain down the leg is known as sciatica or radiculopathy. Pain in the low back is more typically caused by mechanical problems within the spine. This may involve degeneration of the disc space, arthritis of the facet joints which connect two vertebral bodies in the spine, or local trauma to the ligaments or muscles of the spine. It is important to differentiate between back pain and leg pain, as the treatment for each may be quite different. The same principle applies to the neck and arm.

fix. Much of the detective work needed to determine the cause of pain comes from asking the patient about the pain. The physical examination helps further. Next, imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans, myelograms or nerve conduction studies will add additional information. Still, in some cases, the cause may not be obvious. Then, additional investigation may be necessary. Sometimes, this may involve temporary nerve blocks, or provocative studies to see whether certain actions actually reproduce the pain. For example, a selective anesthetic block of a nerve or joint may relieve pain, indicating to the spine surgeon that the pain is coming from that particular location. Alternatively, a provocative study is sometimes performed, during which fluid is pushed into a disc space to determine whether this provokes the same type of pain which the patient typically experiences, again indicating the source of pain. Once the detective work is completed, and the pain source determined, the next step is to go over treatment options to try to address the problem and relieve the pain.

“I am motivated by learning new techniques and therapies that benefit patients by allowing them a quicker recovery, a quicker return to work and enjoyable activities, as well as an improved quality of life.””

Navin Subramanian M.D.

5420 West Loop South, Suite 2300 | Bellaire, TX 77401 | t (713) 650-6900 | oadoc.com

r. Navin Subramanian has hinged his career as an Orthopaedic Surgeon on involving his patients in the decision making process. When he speaks to his patients about their condition, he educates them on the disease process, provides treatment options, and makes recommendations as if they were a close friend or family member. In turn, his patients find someone they can talk to, who listens, and is very knowledgeable in his field. This philosophy of providing the best medical care, by treating patients as family, is one that was handed down from another esteemed physician. “My role model both in medicine and in life is my father.” Dr. Subramanian said. “Originally a structural engineer, and unsatisfied with the work, he felt a calling to attend medical school and became a physician. He spent many years becoming the best physician he could be, while also being a strong father figure to me. Unfortunately, he passed away when I was just a young man. I didn’t know the level of care and compassion my father exhibited in his practice until his funeral. Many patients, some of whom he had only met one time, came to pay their respects. This is the type of relationship I aspire to have with both my family and my patients.” As the only child of parents from India, Dr. Subramanian was born and raised in Chicago, and at the age of 13, his family moved to Louisiana where he would earn his undergraduate degree at nearby Louisiana State University and later a medical degree from Louisiana State University Health Science Center.

practicing in Houston, Dr. Subramanian states, “I am motivated by learning new techniques and therapies that benefit patients by allowing them a quicker recovery, a quicker return to work and enjoyable activities, as well as an improved quality of life.” An example involved a patient who had a long history of constant low back pain, which progressed to pain shooting down his legs, and then weakness in his legs. The patient had difficulty walking, often fell due to his weakness, and had increasing difficulty at work. His radiologic studies revealed instability in the structure of his lumbar spine, along with severe compression of his nerves in the lumbar region. The patient underwent a minimally invasive spine procedure to take the pressure off of his nerves and provide stability to the area. He was discharged from the hospital within 24 hours of the procedure and returned to work within one week. Within 6 weeks he had returned to all of his enjoyable activities without any problems. At his last visit, over a year after the procedure, he has remained pain free. Dr. Subramanian has been awarded for outstanding research by the Baylor College of Medicine and was named one of the Rising Stars of Texas in the Super Doctors edition of Texas Monthly Magazine this year. In 2012, he was also named Head Chair of Orthopaedic Surgery at St. Joseph Medical Center in downtown Houston. Y

WOMEN’S HEALTH Women’s health refers to health issues specific to human female anatomy. These often relate to structures such as female genitalia and breasts or to conditions caused by hormones specific to, or most notable in, females. Women’s health issues include menstruation, contraception, maternal health, child birth, menopause and breast cancer. They can also include medical situations in which women face problems not directly related to their biology, for example gender-differentiated access to medical treatment. Obstetrics and gynaecology (or obstetrics and gynecology; often abbreviated to OB/GYN, OBG, O&G or Obs & Gyne) are the two surgical–medical specialties dealing with the female reproductive organs in their pregnant and non-pregnant state, respectively, and as such are often combined to form a single medical specialty and postgraduate training programme.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GO VISIT MY GYNECOLOGIST? REPORTS OFTEN SAY ANNUALLY BUT SOME SAY EVERY 2 YEARS? It is very important that you visit your doctor at least every 2-3 years. Women over 50 should consult with their gynecologist on more frequent visits especially for mammograms.

What is minimally invasive surgery?

A. Minimally invasive surgery is performed through small incisions or operating ports rather than large incisions. Gynecologic surgery including removal of reproductive organs, such as the uterus and/or ovaries, has traditionally been

The DOCTORS of HOUSTON | 2013

performed through a long incision in the abdominal wall. Minimally invasive surgery offers an alternative to conventional surgery. Minimally invasive techniques used in gynecologic surgery include laparoscopy, daVinci assisted robotic surgery, and vaginal surgery.

Q. Are there any risks associated with minimally invasive surgery? A. As with any surgery, infection, bleeding and anesthesia-related problems are possible complications. Because of the smaller incisions, the risk of infection, hernia formation, and excessive blood loss is lower than with traditional open

surgery. You should talk with your doctor about possible complications specific to your surgery. Q. Is everyone a candidate for minimally invasive surgery? A. There are many factors that determine if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eligible for a minimally invasive procedure including but not limited to: â&#x20AC;˘ The area of the pelvic region that is being treated with surgery â&#x20AC;˘ The medical parameters of the specific case â&#x20AC;˘ The size of the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;some larger women may not be candidates for minimally invasive surgery You should be aware that if a surgery starts as a minimally invasive procedure, the surgeon might have to convert to traditional surgery during the procedure if necessary.

A. From the simple to the most complex conditions, minimally invasive surgery can be applied. In regards to the field of gynecology, minimally invasive surgery can be used to treat a variety of conditions including: â&#x20AC;˘ Ovarian cysts

â&#x20AC;˘ Less blood loss â&#x20AC;˘ Quicker recovery â&#x20AC;˘ Less tissue damage to skin, muscle and other tissues surrounding the affected organ â&#x20AC;˘ Less post-operative pain and discomfort meaning less need for pain medication â&#x20AC;˘ A shorter hospital stay â&#x20AC;˘ Smaller, cosmetrically less noticeable scars Because minimally invasive surgery uses video-assisted equipment, the surgeon has better visualization and magnification of the internal organs and structures. This allows for a more accurate procedure, which is especially critical when working around delicate and confined structures like the bladder and intestines.

â&#x20AC;˘ Pelvic prolapse â&#x20AC;˘ Hysterectomy â&#x20AC;˘ Abnormal Uterine Bleeding â&#x20AC;˘ Certain Gynecological Cancer Q. What makes minimally invasive surgery safer and what are the benefits? A. Traditional surgeries require a long incision that is made through muscle, leaving large scars and requiring extensive recovery time. The smaller incisions from minimally invasive surgery often permit the surgeon to complete the procedure without cutting through muscle

â&#x20AC;˘ If your doctor recommends for you to have a hysterectomy or a gynecologic surgery, you may be a candidate for minimally invasive surgery like the daVinci Robotic Surgery. If your doctor recommends for you to have a hysterectomy or a gynecologic surgery, you may be a candidate for daVinci Robotic Surgery. Y

Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery Education: University of Southern California, B.S., University of Texas Medical, M.D., University of Miami

Q. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to look for when selecting a surgeon for minimally invasive surgery? A. Experience is key. Studies show that the more minimally invasive procedures a surgeon performs, the higher the chance of better outcomes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to ask your surgeon how many times he or she has performed your specific procedure. Q. What is daVinci Robotic Surgery?

DaVinci Robotic surgery is a form of minimally invasive surgery which uses tiny incisions, frequently 1 cm or smaller, along with miniaturized instruments. A high-definition 3D camera is used to view a magnified, high-resolution threedimensional image of the surgical field. The surgeon operates on a computer console in order to complete a surgery. In lieu of the standard large abdominal incision, the patient will have 3-5 small incisions. â&#x20AC;˘ The state-of-the-art robotic and computer technologies scale, filter and seamlessly translate the surgeonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand movements into precise micro-movements of the da Vinci instruments.

r. Aurora Gonzalez credits her parent’s strong work ethic and support in shaping her into the person she is today. It was her humble upbringing in Laredo, TX that allowed her to develop a sense of compassion and resilience. As the youngest of five children, her determination to achieve was established early on after graduating Valedictorian from Martin High School. She would go on to attend Yale University as an undergraduate and obtain her medical license from UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Dr. Gonzalez would finally achieve her lifelong dream of becoming an OB-GYN doctor after completing her residency from St. Joseph Hospital in Houston, TX.

barriers can be difficult for many Latino families and their doctors and is compelled to be best physician for that patient.

Female physicians are few and far between where she grew up in Laredo, Texas. As a matter of fact, there were no female OB-GYN doctors at that time; instead it was dominated by male physicians. Dr. Gonzalez knew that a change was needed, and she wanted to be the one to change it.

Dr. Gonzalez and her staff make every effort to see the patient through from beginning to end. While other physicians refer out and no longer assist the patient, Dr. Gonzalez does otherwise. She makes it her priority to facilitate the process as thorough as possible so that the patient only concerns themselves with their health.

While attending medical school she realized her passion for surgery but also wanted a more personal connection with her patients. Becoming an OB-GYN provided her with the perfect combination. The joy she experiences aiding families wanting children is obvious, however, helping mother’s deliver babies and assisting them with personal medical needs has proven to be even more fulfilling. Dr. Gonzalez feels it is important that she connect not only with her English-speaking patients but her Spanish-speaking patients too. She recognizes that languages 66

Dr. Aurora Gonzalez can recall an experience with a particular patient that moved her. “Early in my career, I had a patient in her late thirties who had a history of eight prior pregnancy losses. After a careful review of her history, she had never had a thorough workup to explain her losses. During her workup, I determined that she had cervical incompetence and intrauterine adhesions. We addressed these issues and she became pregnant again. She successfully delivered a healthy baby boy. The joy of hearing her son cry upon birth was overwhelming.”

Dr. Gonzalez currently serves on the teaching staff on the residency program at St. Josephs Hermann Hospital, and continues to work with resident doctors while participating in all their training. She has been recognized as Outstanding Chief Resident of the Year. Her accolades tell only half of the story but her actions speak the rest. Y
