In this brief excerpt, Dr. Robert Whitfield stresses that offering more treatments does not automatically translate to better outcomes. He advocates that every potential intervention should be preceded by a thorough, in‑person, individualized examination. During this visit, the physician must engage in a detailed discussion covering what can be done, the associated risks and benefits, alternative options, and how the patient’s specific anatomy and personal goals influence the treatment plan. The overarching message is to prioritize personalized, well‑communicated care over a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.
