Welcome to Caring for Arizona

When it comes to your health and the health of your family, understanding your options can give you the knowledge (and the power) to help us make the best health care decisions possible. Originally conceived over 8 years ago, Caring For Arizona was the first “on line” patient education portal of it’s kind, connecting those seeking new and unique medical treatments with some of the most forward thinking doctors in the state. A few years later through our partnership with KTVK 3 TV in Phoenix and KTTU / FOX and My 18 Tucson we are proud help inform and enhance the quality of life for countless people in Arizona who were now able to learn though our weekly television programs about a doctors, nurses or treatment options that can help them or someone they love…live a better life.

The health care decisions that we as individuals make are often the result of how much we understand about a particular condition that we have, or a procedure that we think we could benefit from. The more information we have about our options, and the medical providers who offer those treatments, the more likely we are to make informed healthcare decisions.

Because of our unparalleled access to some of Arizona’s most recognized names in medicine, Caring For Arizona offers you the ability to learn about many of the most exciting medical procedures in what many will agree is the best way possible, directly from the doctors who specialize in them.

Do you suffer from varicose veins? Not sure? Varicose veins are an extremely common condition effecting both men and women of all ages. Many have the misconception that these issues are merely cosmetic in nature, when in fact varicose veins may actually be a symptom of more severe underlying medical conditions.

 Vein disease is often misunderstood and undiagnosed because many who have it, don’t recognize some of the most common symptoms. Thankfully today, patients can get treatment without having to undergo invasive surgery. Modern advances such as EVLT have given new non- surgical  alternatives that can be performed in a doctor’s office without the need for general anesthesia

It takes only a short conversation with the right doctor to learn about new and exciting treatment options and procedures that can help you live a better life. Unfortunately many women are hesitant to discuss with their doctor, certain issues that become more prevalent as we age. Conditions such as stress urinary incontinence are one of a number of health related issues that many women suffer with unnecessarily, largely due in part to the fact that they are not aware of the treatment options available.Other treatment options that have become more widely available include endometrial ablation procedure as well as safe and effective forms of permanent birth control.
