hospitalization, limits of practice

Drs. Sutton and Baer do not admit to any hospitals. The practice of hospitalists (physicians specializing only in in-patient medicine) caring for patients admitted to the hospital is increasingly common today. Drs. Sutton and Baer have an outpatient practice, and advise/assist patients in accessing emergency room and admission services when needed.

Drs. Sutton and Baer do not deliver babies, do prenatal care, or do surgery. The office is not equipped with oxygen or suturing equipment. Lacerations are best handled by going to the nearest urgent care facility. Acute severe chest pain, and similar crises of severe nature are best handled by calling 911 or going to the nearest emergency room.
