DAY ONE
On your first visit to the office we have two primary concerns. Number one, what is the underlying cause of your condition? Number two, are we the right doctors to help you? In order to answer those questions, we will:
-
Learn more about your current condition, overall health, health goals, and history.
-
Investigate what you have done previously to treat your condition that has not worked or that has worked, but only temporarily.
-
Perform a focused examination to determine if you are a good candidate for our care.
