FREE MEDICAL INFORMATION at INOVA FAIRFAX and FAIR OAKS HOSPITAL

Posted by: Doug in Disability, Medical Information, Taking Care of Family, Working with Doctors

Once again the INOVA Health System is providing free medical information to the public. At a time when treating doctors spend precious little time with their own patients, this is a welcome public service. Doug Landau was shocked and dismayed to find out that a famous local orthopedic surgeon and professional sports team doctor sees 8 patients per hour, which averages less than 7 minutes per person!  The Herndon Reston area injury lawyer has attended several of these excellent programs. Landau has seen people ask questions, get valuable information and “face time” with experienced INOVA doctors and learned from other attendees questions and comments. The topics covered by the free lectures and Open House include:

  • Oct. 23, 2008, 7:00 PM, (Thurs.) “Treatments for Arthritis,” Dr. William Lennen, M.D., call 703-750-8800 for more information.
  • Nov. 8, 2008, 10:00 AM- 2:00 PM (Sat.) “Breast Health Open House,” see new digital mammography equipment, receive breast health education, meet experts, receive a free tote bag, and ask your questions. Call 703-391-3839 for more information.
  • Nov. 11, 2008, 7:00 PM (Tues.) “Learn about the benefits of minimally invasive surgery,” Dr. Barry Walter, M.D., call 703-750-8800 for more information.
  • Oct. 23, 25, and Nov. 1, 12, 13, 15, 20 (various times and physicians) “Weight-Loss Surgery Information Sessions,” at INOVA Fair Oaks Hospital. Call 703-391-3783 for more information.
