Our team is committed to offer an optimal, state-of-the-art treatment to each and every condition on the upper limb.
In order to achieve that, our patients can rely on a tight network of healthcare professionals, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, ergo-therapist, cast and orthosis specialists, working in collaboration with each other.
Our goal is to offer the most suitable treatment for everyone, through a tailor-made approach for each and every case. Because expectations, needs and goals are tremendously different from a patient to another, and so should be the therapeutical program.
That is Dr Atlan’s motto: “We treat patients, not conditions”.
