Vicki Anton-Athens, D.P.M
Dr. Athens sums up her philosophy of patient treatment in two major points:
1. Treat my patients as if they were a family member. The question I ask is: Would I do this to my mother, father, brother?
2. Treat conservatively first and educate the patient about their problem so that they understand and are involved in their treatment.
