When you arrive please bring your driver's license, insurance card (if applicable) and any diagnostic test results (MRI, CAT scan, previous X-Rays) that may help better assess your condition. We will verify your insurance benefits for your convenience. So we can better address your health needs and accommodate to your time, you may request an intake form be emailed to you by contacting the office. Our doctors perform a comprehensive consultation, evaluation, orthopedic and neurological testing upon your first chiropractic evaluation to guarantee optimal care. If necessary X-rays or an Infrared Thermoscan may be taken. A brief educational video is presented to explain the benefits and goals of chiropractic care. Doctors will review the information obtained and determine if any modalities such as heat or traction are needed prior to delivering your chiropractic adjustment that day. As we pride ourselves in delivering the best care possible it is important that we take the time needed to address every aspect of your care, therefore your first visit can take anywhere from 1-1 ½ hours. Since we gather your past and current health history, along with specific clinical tests on your first visit, each subsequent visit will take much less time.
New Patients who repetitively cancel their first appointment may be asked to pre-pay for future services as the doctor’s time is reserved for an extended period that can be made available to others if cancelled in 24 hrs prior.
