1
- I
work very hard to be on time to minimize or eliminate wait time.
2
- I
listen intently to the patient's description of his or her problem
and everything relating to it.
3
- With
the patient's input, I'll determine the best course of action to
begin to resolve symptoms as quickly as possible. In some cases,
this may mean a prompt referral to the patient's physician. However,
patients with previous chiropractic care frequently begin treatment
immediately while other patients require an examination and/or X-rays.
4
- I
believe in answering all questions thoroughly, encouraging patient
participation and affording patients as much homecare and exercises
they need to help themselves.
5
- Treatment
and exercises are designed to help patients return to any activities
they have had to stop or curtail as a result of their injuries (i.e.
lifting, bending, sitting, sports, yard work, computer usage, general
workouts, etc.).
6
- Any
care beyond minimizing or resolving the patient's symptoms, is strictly
up to the patient. For instance, a patient may strive for strengthening
to prevent injury recurrences or increased endurance to better tolerate
repetitive activities(i.e. sports, travel, computer usage, etc.
).
7
- Insurance
verification and financial agreements are reconciled as soon as
possible, usually during the patient's initial appointment.
