Bio
Welcome to my website. I have designed this site for you with several goals in mind.
First, I want you to be able to learn a bit more about me than what you can normally glean from a doctor’s visit. To this end, I provided information about my background as a foot and ankle surgeon (About the Doctor), as well as a section about my personal background (About the Person).
Second, I want to provide you with a site packed with resources for a multitude of foot and ankle problems – a place where you can come and read more about a problem that you might have. I highly recommend using Dr. Palladino's Recommended Resources. This section has links to every patient education document that I have developed and keep in my clinic rooms. This section also has links to additional excellent patient information resources for foot and ankle problems provided by both Kaiser as well as non-Kaiser specialists. Furthermore, there are some excellent general health resources to be explored by clicking on the Healthy Living or Healthwise Handbook links in the navigation bar to the left. The Healthwise Handbook link brings you to links to our Health Encyclopedia and our index/ch_index.htm Healthwise Handbook - both loaded with health information for you. The Healthy Living link brings you to a number of great health resources. One of these resources is the Healthy Lifestyles Program, with online modules that can custom-tailor a guide to help you in health improvement in areas such a weight loss or smoking cessation. If you are considering foot or ankle surgery or are scheduled for foot or ankle surgery, the Foot and Ankle Surgery Resources section is a must read.
Lastly, I want to provide you with some information that will allow you to streamline your experience at the Kaiser Santa Rosa Medical Center. Therefore, I have included the section, Contacting the Doctor, in which you can learn how to best contact me by email, phone or fax. Also in this section, as well as through the link for prescription refills in the navigation bar to the left, you can learn about obtaining medicine refills online or by the phone. You may also find this map to my office helpful.
Please explore my website thoroughly. I hope that you find this website a valuable enhancement of your experience under my care. Please contact me, should you have a suggestion on additional information that you think would be useful to add to this site, or should you find a broken link.
Thank you and take care,
Steven J Palladino, DPM |
