| Initial visit |
| |
| At your initial visit, you
will fill out an intake form about your condition. You can download this form
from our website and bring it for your initial consultation (‘Patient Intake
Form’). The nurse will then review your history, and go over any existing
imaging studies, such as X-Rays and/or MRIs. You may need to have more X-Rays
taken at this time to better diagnose your condition. The physician will then
perform a thorough and comprehensive physical exam and take a detailed history
of your condition. He will also review your imaging studies. After this, your
physician would go over his findings with you and address any questions/
concerns that you might have. |
