JAY D. TARNOW, M.D.“ After 35 years of experience, I am better at my predictions of prognosis and what patients need to improve. In the past, I could predict and plan for a patient’s next one to two years. Now when I evaluate a patient and family, I see the possibilities for the next 5, 10, 15, even 20 years.” |
