ADVANCED MEDICAL TECHNIQUES AND TECHNOLOGIES
 We
offer our patients the latest in state-of-the-art medical
techniques and technologies.
Cardiac Catheterization Labs
Catheterization is a diagnostic procedure which shows the
physician what areas of the heart may need help. Once the
diagnostics are complete, procedures performed within the
facility are:
Angioplasty - where balloon devices are used to clear
the arteries.
Pacemaker - to help regulate heartbeats.
Coronary Stenting - which is a metal coil designed to
help keep arteries open and clear.
Rotobalder - another artery clearing technique that
uses a diamond-tipped blade.
IVUS - Intravascular Ultrasounds used to determine
the actual trauma to vessel walls, and help physicians
determine the best course of treatment.
Lap-Band Procedure - We are
delighted to have the opportunity to share with you some
vital information regarding lap-band surgery and our
practice.
Morbid obesity is a debilitating disease that, by
definition, threatens the well being of those suffering from
it. Woodland Heights Medical Center has developed a
multi-disciplinary program that has been created to help
alleviate this problem. If you take a close look at our
program, you will find that it is unique in its design and
scope.
Our program is distinctive. We offer preoperative education
as well as postoperative support. Not only will we guide you
through the steps necessary to have surgery, but we also
provide the necessary tools that are fundamental to your
postoperative success for many years to come. Nutrition
consultations, support groups, psychological consultations,
and vitamin and protein supplementation are among the
resources offered to ensure your success.
We feel our program is unique in that our surgeons and staff
are a community. Many of our staff are patients as well.
Although the staff is comprised of many individuals who
perform a wide variety of services, we work diligently as a
team in order to meet the specific needs of patients
actively seeking to reclaim their lives.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapists provide comprehensive post-operative
and injury rehabilitation for a variety of medical
conditions. The staff and therapists work closely with your
physician and have advanced knowledge about your specific
diagnosis and operative procedures to ensure optimal
rehabilitation.
CT Scan
Our state-of-the art CT scanner is equipped with 3-D
capabilities. This sytem leads the industry in image quality
and can assist doctors with diagnosing heart conditions,
cancer, spinal injuries, pediatric conditions and trauma
damage.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
A non-invasive and painless procedure, Magnetic Resonance
Imaging can detect strokes, tumors and other types of
disease at an early stage. MRI is helpful in detecting
torn ligaments and herniated spinal discs.
Nuclear Scan
We have one of the most advanced digital nuclear imaging
systems. Our camera and computer system provide detailed,
high resolution images, including brain and whole body, in
both 360 degrees and planar configurations. This gives the
physicians the most accurate information possible on which
to base their diagnosis.
