Types Of Doctors In Westland

By Juliette Cruz


The human body is made of several cells and tissues that must be understood if man is to live healthily. There is a strong connection between the bones and the different parts of the body. Medical practitioners study the human body so as to find cure for any anomaly that is noticed. Doctors are the professionals that try to study the human body. However, owing to the complexity of the system, it is necessary to divide the study into different fields for effectiveness and efficiency in treatment. Hence, doctors in Westland can be divided into audiologists, podiatrists, optometrists, dentists, urologists, rheumatologists, cardiologists, dermatologists, gastrologists, endocrinologists and psychiatrists.

Psychiatrists take care of mental problems. Such mental problems may be perceptual, behavioral and cognitive. They do this by using psychological tests and conducting exams on the patient. Some of the treatment methods they use include transcranial magnetic stimulation, psychotherapy and psychoactive medication.

Audiologists are those that help people with hearing difficulty. They teach how to communicate with others. He determines the level of hearing by employing testing strategies such as otoacoustic emission measurements, electrophysiologic tests and videonystagmography. An audiologist is the right person to recommend hearing aids, cochlear implants or surgery for your ear treatment.

An andrologist is a doctor that treats impotence in the male reproductive system. Andrology started towards the end of the 1960s and the first published journal, "Andrologia", was released after 1968. Andrologists have various works to do. For instance, they have to know some surgical procedures such as vasectomy and vasovasostomy. They also deal with male genitourinary disorders like balanitis, erectile dysfunction, hydrocele, orchitis and prostate cancer.

An anesthesiologist is one who is trained to give proper anesthesia. He is helpful in surgical operations because the patient who is undergoing the surgery needs to feel relaxed so that the surgeons can do their best without any disturbance. Anesthesiologists in the US are part of organizations such as the American Society of Anesthesiologists and the American Osteopathic College of Anesthesiologists.

The heart, which is a very vital part of the body also needs special attention and study. The study of the heart and all its vessels are contained in he field known as cardiology. It is a branch of internal medicine that is also subdivided into interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, echocardiography and nuclear cardiology. Owing to their importance, they have attractive salaries in hospitals. Some of them earn above $320,000 per year.

Dentists are known for tooth extraction, gum protection and rendering help for maximum oral health. They are perhaps the least visited medical practitioners because of the fear people have in extracting their teeth. To become a dentist, one must first obtain a bachelor's degree before he can be admitted into the dental school. Science subjects like biology and chemistry must be learnt and understood if the student will do well in the field. A good performance in the dental admissions test is a prerequisite for admission into dental school.

Since the eye is also important, there is need to create a special study for it. Doctors in Westland who treat the eye are generally called oculists. There are two different types of oculists. Those that are concerned with giving corrective lenses are called optometrists while those that care for the eye by treating medical conditions are called ophthalmologists.
