Our goal is to provide the most comfortable and durable, high quality,
up-to-date treatment for the care of hernias. We individualize hernia treatment
for each patient, aiming to minimize pain and disability while maximizing the
durability of the hernia treatment.
AHC is aimed to serve a medical care based on evidence based medicine.
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has been defined as "the conscientious, explicit,
and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of
individual patients. The practice of evidence based medicine means integrating
individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence
from systematic research.
More recently it has been described as the "integration of best research
evidence with clinical expertise and patient values.
