SAN JOSE, CA, April 19, 2014 (Press-News.org) The majority of the U.S. population owns some type of electronic device. From phones to desktop computers, people use these devices to access the Internet, and accessing the Internet is a means to finding information.
It's give-and-take. For the Foot & Ankle Medical Group, their website is intended to act as a library. Patients can find information related to the practice as well as read general podiatry topics.
"We realized an online presence is becoming the best way for patients to seek out general questions and concerns. If they have a specific foot problem, we recommend an exam, and requesting an appointment is also a function on our site. Our services are a call or click away," exclaims Dr. Lerman, San Jose podiatrist.
Recently, the Foot & Ankle Medical Group made their website mobile-friendly. Not everyone has a computer handy, especially with a hectic schedule. More people find it easier to pull out their smartphones and use Google.
From the comfort of patients' phones, they can easily navigate the mobile tabs and pages (located on the upper, left-hand side): Home, Our Doctors, Our Office, Conditions We Treat, New Patients, Contact Us, Appointment Request, Patient Forms and Patient Education. Each tab offers patients quality content at the tap or swipe of their fingers.
There is no easier way to acquire information than by going online.
"Improving online user experience is the key to communicating with our patients. While we love to consult with our patients face-to-face, they can also seek out answers via our website via a desktop or mobile device, and the navigation is easy for patients of all ages," says Dr. Tager.
To schedule an appointment with Drs. Lerman and Tager, call their San Jose podiatrist office at (408) 292-8800. Patients can check Dr. Lerman's website, www.footankledocs.com, by using a desktop or handheld device.

Warrenton Dentist Reveals Why Restorative Dentistry Is Saving Oral Health
2014-04-19
People know that dentists take care of their teeth, but patients don't always know how dental professionals go about doing it. Once decay or dental trauma sets in, preventative care isn't going to fix it, but restorative dentistry can get the job done. At Dr. Harris' dental practice, he offers services in three different areas: general, cosmetic and restorative dentistry.
Restorative dentistry encompasses treatments such as dentures, dental implants, fillings, dental crowns and dental bridges. Dental crowns and fillings are intended to restore the natural tooth while ...

Santa Cruz Dentist Wants Patients To Spring Into Action For Better Oral Health
2014-04-19
Many people will never experience a broken bone. It's a less common incident, which is why it's considered an emergency. The same can't be said for dental emergencies. Teeth and gums are put in harms way every day. The food and drinks people consume can produce bacteria and acid that are harmful to tooth enamel.
"People consider cavities a common dental problem, not an emergency. However, certain stages of tooth decay can be considered a major concern, especially if a tooth's structure is damaged due to severe dental decay. Ignoring dental hygiene practices at home ...
Kenosha Dentist Discusses How Age Factors Into A Successful Dental Implant
2014-04-19
In recent years, missing permanent teeth are more often being permanently replaced by dental implants-a type of restorative procedure. Unlike dentures and dental bridges, dental implants require a surgical incision into the gum tissue and jawbone, so a dentist can place the screw-like implant. This allows for the jawbone cells to attach to the implant, the process also known as osseointegration.
The advantages of a dental implant include permanence, esthetic appeal, comfort and convenience. A patient can treat it with care just like his/her natural teeth, and the jawbone ...
