First-time patients at Oasis Medical Centers often wonder whether they’ve come to the right place. Although the health and rehabilitation center, with locations in Brighton Beach and Rego Park, provides top-notch medical care, it doesn’t feel like a typical doctor’s office.
Stepping into an Oasis facility is more like entering an expensive Manhattan spa. Flowers and soothing photographs and art are everywhere and soft music fills the air. The waiting area is truly an oasis, complete with a gently trickling fountain and a small forest of greenery.
Oasis is a comprehensive health center that blends traditional medical care with alternative and European treatments. As a full-service medical office, Oasis can perform many tests in-house, including sonograms and balance and equilibrium diagnostics.
There is a strong focus on rehabilitative medicine, with the resident team of board-certified doctors working to find the best possible course of treatment for each patient. Arthritis, back pain, broken bones, sports injuries, complications from diabetes and vascular diseases, and respiratory problems are among the common ailments that bring patients to Oasis.
What makes the office truly unique though, is its integrated approach. Many individuals experience the relief of pain, swelling and other persistent symptoms through the following combination of treatments:
Oasis further specializes in treating fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and insomnia. Studies have shown that a combination of several therapies, including therapeutic baths and massage, work best for treatment of these conditions. Oasis offers this groundbreaking multilevel therapy, which also includes:
Preventing falls with high-tech VNG test offered at Oasis Medical Center
Do you remember that TV commercial where a woman falls and can’t get up without help?
Treating balance problems is an excellent way to help prevent falls. Diagnosing balance problems is important because they could be a sign of a more serious disease like tumor or stroke. Vertigo, hearing loss or ringing in the ears, headaches, dizziness, fatigue and fainting are symptoms that should be further investigated.
Videonystagmography (VNG) is the best tool for testing your balance and diagnosing the cause of any problems. During the test, you wear eye goggles attached to a camera and a computer while you perform a series of tasks like looking back and forth between designated points. VNG is painless, noninvasive and takes about 20 minutes.
After a diagnosis is made, doctors will develop an individualized treatment plan that could include physical therapy and balance training, as well as proper medication.
Like a spa, all gowns, towels, slippers and robes are provided with treatment, and the staff is accommodating and friendly. All services are covered by insurance and Oasis accepts most insurance plans, including Medicare.
