Raymond Douglas, MD, a surgeon with La Peer Health Systems, is world-renowned for treating Graves’ disease, a condition characterized by inflammation and a buildup of tissue around the eyes that cause them to bulge painfully from their sockets.
LACMA: Do patients suffering from Graves’ disease have options?
Dr. Douglas: They do. The new message for patients is that we can give them a complete and customized care program that doesn’t require surgery and can actually reverse the disease. We don’t simply treat the disease; we provide the patient with a holistic plan that puts the patient as the center spoke in a continuum of care.
