Nutrition

It is universally accepted that proper nutrition is a key to good health, a sense of well being, and maximizing your physical/mental performance. In addition, thoughtful food choices may help prevent disease, allow you to heal faster after surgery, and maintain a normal weight. While many people regularly take vitamins, read food labels, and shop for natural products, a healthy lifestyle depends upon your daily choices regarding the quality of your calorie intake and how it balances with your physical activity.

There is an enormous amount of information available regarding healthy nutrition. I’ve learned quite a bit in collecting these links. I sincerely hope you enjoy exploring these resources and use the information to assist your daily nutritional choices.

“Professional staff, friendly and attentive, made me feel comfortable. Thank you.”

JuanitaChandler, AZ

“Best most wonderful medical office I’ve ever been in – all 3 of you make me feel very special and honored.”

MarilynMesa, AZ

“I have no suggestions, only compliments. The young ladies out front were excellent. Dr. Edelstein was polite, professional and made my eye surgery a great experience. I found himi to be a very nice person, even though he is a “Packer Backer.” Thank you.

GeneMesa, AZ

“I am 91 years old and apprehensive about surgery of any kind. Everyone was so kind and helpful I felt I was in good hands and was relaxed. I especially appreciated Dr. Edelstein’s call the evening of surgery. I’ve had calls from a doctor’s staff, but he’s the first MD to call me.”

JanetPhoenix, AZ

“I was very pleased with the pre-op and the operation. Also, the concern you showed for me and my wife.”

CharlesTempe, AZ

“The procedure performed by Dr. Edelstein was exceptional. I cannot find any suggestion on how to improve my overall experience.”

LindaSun Lakes, AZ

“My wife and I are very, very satisfied. Dr. Edelstein is by far the most competent doctor I have ever had. I wish I could get him into the book; Best Doctors in Arizona.”

IrwinMesa, AZ

“Brandy is GREAT! Dr. Edelstein went over every detail of my procedure with me. He took the time to explain! Dr. Edelstein has a wonderful practice and I will return if needed. I would also refer friends and family.”

TiffanyChandler, AZ

“I don’t know how you could possibly improve on perfection. The office staff is courteous, friendly and go above and beyond to help. Patty spent a lot of time with my insurance company getting approval. I received documentation of her calls and we kept well informed. Dr. Edelstein is always dressed very professionally and neatly. He has a nice quiet manner about him and put me at ease. He made me feel like I was important and didn’t act like he was in a rush to get me out the door so he could move on to the next patient. I feel very blessed with my entire experience and will not hesitate to recommend this facility to my friends and relatives. Thank you”
