By necessity, the scope of Dr. Rauschkolb’s practice must be limited in terms of both the number of patients seen and the scope of the conditions she will treat. This is to ensure that the patients seen in her practice will receive proper care.
Each referral will be reviewed to determine whether it is appropriate for Dr. Rauschkolb’s practice. Patients will be contacted to schedule an appointment, or with a recommendation for a more suitable resource, e.g., a subspecialist (a neurologist who treats a specific area of neurology) or a tertiary (larger) care facility that is directly affiliated with a hospital.
