FIRST VISIT
What should you expect on a first visit?
Your first office visit will last an average of 90 minutes, and during that time relevant information would be obtained either through discussion, physical examination, and/or in-house specialized testing. There are many factors that can affect your health and we need all the information that you can provide to determine the correct assessment. Our goal is to address your health concerns. We work to find the underling cause of your complaint and effectively develop an individualized treatment program that is safe, and effective to achieve optimal health. The treatment plan may include dietary guidelines, lifestyle recommendations, herbal therapies, nutritional supplements, physical therapy, homeopathic remedies, and/or other natural therapies.
After the initial encounter, we will meet together for a series of 15-30 minute follow up visits in order to monitor progress and ensure you achieve your health care goals.
What should you bring on the first visit?
On your first visit, we will ask you to complete a patient questionnaire/medical history intake. You may save yourself time and complete the paperwork before youcome for your first visit. The intake forms will be either e-mailed, or sent to you prior to your appointment. This will be arranged at the time you set up the appointment. At this time we elected not to have the forms available for download from our website.
Please bring copies of your medical records, imaging results (X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, etc), and lab tests, all which were performed within the last 6 months (or older, if relevant).
Please be on time. If you need to fill in the initial paperwork at the clinic, you may come in 10-15 min prior to your appointment, but not earlier than that.
