APPOINTMENT.

EVALUATION PROCESS:
Your first visit (initial evaluation) will be for the purpose of evaluating your problem on a comprehensive basis. This will involve a review of your health history, clinical examination, x-rays, psychometric screening and other diagnostic records. After the evaluation process is completed, your case will be discussed with you and a management program will he formulated and explained to you. On occasion, additional x-rays or consultations may be necessary.

TREATMENT:
Your individualized management program may involve a wide variety of modern techniques. The total length and frequency of visits also varies with the needs of each patient. You may be seen as often as once a week or as little as once or twice a month.

YOUR ROLE IN TREATMENT:
Patients who come to our clinic may have a complicated and long-standing problem. In order to make your treatment at the clinic most effective we request the following:
1.  Please feel free to ask questions and seek information
2.  Please keep an open mind about the management program recommended for you.
3.  Please take the responsibility to become an active participant in your management.  Make the time and energy commitment to follow through with the entire program offered at the clinic.

COMPLETION OF TREATMENT:
When you have received maximum benefit from the active phase of your treatment, you will be placed on a maintenance program. This usually consists of a series of follow up visits at periodic intervals to monitor your progress. If everything is satisfactory, your treatment at the clinic ends.  Should any additional services be needed, the clinic will assist you in making the necessary referrals.
