Established Patients
An established patient is a patient who has been seen in the office within the last 3 years. If 3 years have passed since your last visit, the doctor will need to do a full initial visit assessment with you to be sure all health history and other information is up to date to provide the best care possible.
​
The average established patient visit lasts approximately 15-20 minutes. Based on the treatment plan that you and your doctor have agreed upon, a re-evaluation of patient progress will be performed at regular intervals. If you are experiencing a new complaint since your last office visit, please let us know when scheduling your appointment so we can allow for extra time to do a full assessment.
Some patients may find that they are more comfortable changing out of their "work clothes" into a patient gown or into their own shorts and t-shirt for their treatment. This is fully optional but may be recommended for certain techniques, areas of complaint or services offered. Please arrive a few minutes early to allow yourself time to change in the restrooms or ask our front desk if a treatment room is vacant.
Chiropractic is as much an art as it is a science. As chiropractors, the doctors have been trained in hundreds of chiropractic adjustment techniques. If at any time you experience any discomfort or concern about a given therapy, please speak up and let the doctor know so that they can alter their treatment and keep you as comfortable as possible.
