FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS YOUR NEW PATIENT PROCEDURE?
Each new patient exam is 1 hour duration, and includes a comprehensive history and physical examination, report of findings, and treatment unless contraindicated. We ask that each new patient either complete intake paperwork ahead of time, or arrive to the clinic 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. Please also wear appropriate clothing that is easy to move in. If you are coming in for a lower body issue (hip pain, knee pain etc), please bring shorts. If you are coming in for a shoulder complaint please wear a tank top.
DO I NEED A DOCTOR’S REFERRAL?
