What to expect on your first visit You should arrive shortly before your appointment, unless you have been advised otherwise. Please inform the receptionist of your arrival before being seated. Before you are seen by the doctor, you will be asked to complete a factual questionnaire regarding your problem. If you wish to fill out the documents before coming to the office they are available here. Some of this information will involve your past medical history. These questions are necessary to provide the doctor with the essential information about you. It is also important that we know the names and dosages of any previous and current medications you are taking. Your first two visits will usually consist of: Visit 1: Case History, Consultation, Examination and X-Rays. Visit 2: Report of findings and beginning of the treatment phase. Please do not ask the doctor to change this order of routine. Many different routines have been tried and this schedule has proven to be the best. The doctor cannot treat you until he has completed his examination and has received your test results. On rare occasions (if the patient is in severe pain or an emergency patient) the doctor may alter this routine to accommodate the specific needs of a patient. However, please do not expect or ask for emergency care unless it is necessary. Our reputation and the results we receive are the outcome of being very thorough and meticulous in finding the cause of your problem.
