The new patient enters the clinic and is always greeted with a friendly receptionist (guaranteed or your money back!) to assist you with your initial paperwork. If you think the receptionist is NOT friendly, let the doctor know on your first visit and your visit will be no cost to you. The front desk receptionist will show you to the consultation area. The doctor will be in to see you in less than two minutes (guaranteed). He/she will discuss your health concerns and determine what is needed to diagnose your condition and decide if he accepts your case for further examination.

If accepted for examination, the new patient will be tested in several different areas. Of course the area of the main complaint will be thoroughly examined. The patient will also be checked concerning their eyes, ears, nose, throat, heart, lungs, pulse, respiration rate, cervical and lumbar range of motion, muscle strength, orthopedic tests, neurological tests, chiropractic balance tests, and gait analysis.
Many specialized diagnostic procedures are performed in Family Chiropractic and many are available through outside referral sources that make up our Network Team of Chiropractic Services. Depending on the patients needs, several diagnostic tests are available to Family Chiropractic either in office or by referral to another health facility. Patient examination findings and daily patient notes are documented through state-of-the-art computer systems. The doctor uses Dragon Naturally Speaking - voice to typewritten report- to assist in his/her daily progress notes. He/she also uses Quixote for billing. |

Family Chiropractic is equipped with in-house x-ray facilities. If a patient's condition requires x-ray clarification, the proper films can be taken, developed and analyzed in our clinic. |
|
After the patient has obtained all of the needed tests to diagnose their condition, a consultative Report of Findings will be scheduled to explain all of the findings of the case and the significance to their current health status. If accepted for treatment, the doctor will show what would be involved to help the patient. It is important to understand the meaning of the test results and how those findings affect current health conditions. A treatment plan will be shown for the patient and any questions can be answered at that time before any treatment would begin. |
Treatment is extremely individualized for each patient accepted for care in the Family Chiropractic.
