A couple of their favorite locations were Iceland and Banff, Alberta, Canada because they are great outdoor areas with wonderful people where one can get lost and enjoy all that nature has to offer. "It is important that patients feel like they have been heard. Addressing their concerns and including them in shared decision making helps to develop the best course to treat the problem at hand. Each patient deserves an individualized treatment plan." - Jay Christensen, MD
