What are the responsibilities and job description for the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon position at icare Rehabilitation Hospital & Physical Medicine Center?
Company Description
"The icare way"
Other rehabs only see the diagnosis and treat the way they treat that diagnosis, failing to ever get to know and understand each person and their unique needs. No two patients needs are ever the same, even with the same diagnosis, their needs are all very unique to the individual.
At icare we get to know the person first, because they are more than just a diagnosis. Once we know the person, then we treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
Every staff member at icare is required to ask the question "If this was my Mom...Dad...Sibling...Child...how would I want them to be cared for?" because that is the icare standard, the “icare way”, are the reason our outcomes are superior to any other facility.
Once at our beautiful, hands down "superior to anything in the Metroplex" state-of-the-art facility our physical/speech/occupational therapists will all assess and address the unique challenges that each of our guests face in their physical rehabilitation process through our unique icare style of personalized care.
