What Can I Expect on my First Visit?
Paperwork and Consultation – to help the doctor understand your health history. Call and request new patient paperwork if you would like the forms mailed or faxed to you. If you have past health history from other care, please bring it with you, including labs.
Examination – Dr. Pam does a full exam, including reflexes, muscle strength, cranial nerves, sensory, and of course, your area of complaint.
X-rays – X-rays provide valuable information about the internal structures of the body. Only necessary X-rays are performed and special care is taken to decrease the exposure. If you’ve had previous X-rays in the last 12 months, additional films may not be required, if you can bring them in.
Private Consultation to discuss Results – the doctor will discuss with you the findings of your visit and recommended treatment options.
Treatment – most patients will receive some form of treatment on the first visit. However, there are some cases where it is best that treatment not begin immediately, to allow for more diagnostics or collect more information not available at the time of your exam.
