Dr. Mangone aims to provide an individualized patient-centered approach to foot and ankle care. First and foremost, the patient’s history, their “story”, is the most significant aspect of every patient visit. He is a firm believer that the patient knows their own body best and by carefully listening to each patient’s history, the correct diagnosis is better identified. Once a diagnosis has been established, individualized treatment options can be discussed in a shared decision-making model allowing the patient to be at the center of the decision-making process. This includes both non-operative and operative options for each patient. Dr. Mangone gives each patient an opportunity to be involved in their health care decision making as much as he/she desires.
