Business vision
The patient at the heart of the care process
A surgical discipline tailored to the patient’s needs and expectations, to help them regain their balance and enjoy a full, rewarding life.
For Dr. Paolo Fornaciari, being a specialist in shoulder surgery means not only using cutting-edge techniques combined with state-of-the-art technology, but also choosing the appropriate technical instruments and selecting a treatment tailored to the patient.
At the center of every choice is the patient. All other variables take a back seat. This is why the ability to communicate and listen to individual expectations, and the empathy to do so, are at the heart of Dr Paolo Fornaciari’s work.
