Green Health Care

what is green healthcare?

ORA^® Oral Surgery & Implant Studio strives toward a new model of healthcare based on the understanding that human and environmental health are inextricably linked. In this model, health professionals serve as environmental educators, advocates and stewards. This model is called “Green Healthcare” which takes us beyond the Hippocratic oath, calling upon all health professionals to “do more good.” By focusing more on prevention, precaution, education, and wellness—we can significantly contribute to improving the health of our patients, community, and the environment.

In Green Healthcare, toxic-free buildings, literacy around local environmental health issues, and the use of safe, effective, precaution-based medicine are all intrinsic parts of a new system of healthcare that is good for people and the environment. Implementing Green Healthcare practices also prepares health professionals to become leaders in the emerging discipline of Sustainable Medicine. Sustainable medicine recognizes the link between the environment, medicine and human health and seeks to provide better healthcare while protecting our limited environmental and medical resources.

Preventative, safe, effective, and sustainable

Review From Whitney, D. Chicago, IL. DR. STEVE IS TALL AND VERY VERY SEXY. Now that I’ve gotten that out of my system, on to the actual review of the services I received. I went here for a consultation recently and didn’t have to sit for long, maybe 10 minutes if that. I went over to the 360 X-ray machine and [...]
Review From Taylor, G Chicago, Illinois. The dentists there are GREAT. Very thorough and explained everything very well. I received a Saturday evening phone call from dentist after surgery to check up on me. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the dentists. They would have gotten 5 stars if it wasn’t for the front desk. I went in for [...]
Review From Louis, S Chicago, IL. Generally speaking most of us seem to be more prone to writing about a negative or unpleasant experience than to take time and give praise for a positive one, a job well done. I am no different than most but today however I will write about something positive. A positive experience which I feel must [...]
Review From Sonia M., Chicago, IL. WAY TOO OFF THE CHARTS EXPENSIVE! Catty, obnoxious reception too. Ugh Comment from Steven K. of ORA Dental, Oral Surgery & Implant Studio�12/11/2011 Interesting comments (brings up concerns of the possibility of an unscrupulous competitor writing fictitious review, which is an unfortunate circumstance that can occur on Yelp). �The review before it was edited down [...]
Review From Judy H, Highland IN. For a person who has anxiety issues, going to the dentist when you know you have to have teeth pulled is extremely hard. I had been told by Dana the hygenistwho works at Ora that I had a couple of lose wisdom teeth, but being the procrastinator that I am, my dentist Dr. Kralj told [...]
Review From Nicole T., Chicago, Illinois. I have been to ORA twice, once to have my wisdom teeth extracted and yesterday to have a molar extracted. Both procedures were done by Dr Koos. He is excellent! The first time I was put to sleep but the last time I was awake. I was a little worried about the last one but [...]
Review from, Ashley W., Chicago, Illinois. Just about completed my implant surgery and have to say for all the years I have been going to dentists and oral surgeons I have never been more comfortable in a dentist chair before. �They are so kind and professional and make your experience as comfortable as possible. �Dr. Koos and the rest of the [...]
Review From Alex K. Chicago, IL. Hands down the only place you should go to get surgery work done! TIMELINE Birth to August 2nd 2011: wisdom teeth developed and sorta partially poked through my gums a little bit and bothered me here and there over the last few years. August 3rd 2011 a.m.: I woke up with pain and swelling on [...]
Review from Mary W. Chicago, IL. I want to second the experiences that many people have written on this page. The dental care at this office is fabulous. Dr. Koos removed my wisdom teeth and the process was as painless as it could be. From waiting room to chair, they allowed no time for me to panic, were very reassuring, and [...]
