One of many e-mails
from our patients.
" I am a patient of
Dr. Fedder's and
recommend him to
others whenever
I have the opportu-
nity. I've found him
to be very candid
and friendly, with a
sense of humor, and
I appreciate that.
But most impor-
tantly, he listened.
When you develop
that kind of rapport
and mutual respect
with a physician,
it means a lot."

Transitional Care Units (TCU), also known as step-down or rehab units, are an option for some patients who have been released from the hospital following surgery, but feel they are not ready to go home. Most surgeons prefer their patients to return home from the hospital, but a step-down unit can be available for patients who need extensive rehab or may live alone. A TCU is similar to a hospital, but does not offer intensive care. The unit is often located in a hospital, next to a hospital or sometimes it is a freestanding facility. A patient can stay 3-20 days depending on the circumstances. The care is usually covered by insurance. |
