Care Philosophy: Dr. Kartis strives to achieve 'The Golden Rule' in patient care: He strives to treat each and every patient as he would hope that he or a member of his own family would be treated if he or they were the patient. In effect, he strives to treat each and every patient as if they were a member of his own actual family. 'Treating' patients does not always mean for a surgeon to perform surgery. Equally important is for a surgeon to know when to not operate. However it is often necessary for a surgeon to determine this and review the non-surgical options as well. Patients will feel more reassured to hear that they do not need an operation when that determination comes from a surgeon! Dr. Kartis treats his patients with the utmost of respect and dignity. He will try to provide the highest level of and care here in town, or refer them elsewhere when necessary. He spends as much time as needed with his patients and their family members for all to be satisfied with having their questions answered and the relevent issues discussed. Dr. Kartis strives to treat all patients equally well, regardless of their ability to pay or even their ability to make an office visit (Dr. Kartis has been known to make housecalls when patients were unable to get a ride to his office!)
