New Patients at New Hope Chiropractic
What to Expect
Our doctors want all of our patients to feel immediately at home when they walk in the door. Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it’s important for you to feel comfortable right from the beginning.
We start with making it easy for you to become a new patient. After scheduling your initial appointment with our practice, our patient management system will automatically email you any necessary patient forms.
You will be warmly greeted when you walk into New Hope Chiropractic. Please reserve approximately one hour for your first visit. In order to give you the best possible care, please arrive at your scheduled time and check-in at our front desk.
Chiropractic Consultation
Before we see you, we will need a few minutes to prepare and review your file and forms. Your doctor will then bring you into the exam room, where they will consult with you regarding your health history and answer any questions you may have.
He will then conduct a number of physical examinations, based on your health needs and history.
At the end of the exam, he will make recommendations based on his findings and let you know whether and when you should come in for a follow up visit. Of course, feel free to ask us questions at any time during your visit!
After we study your health history and correlate our examination findings, we’ll make recommendations designed to help you get and keep your health. We call this the Report of Findings.
This is usually attended to on your second visit, which may be later the same day or the following. This two-visit approach accomplishes several things:
- Reduces the length of your first visit
- Gives us time to correlate our findings
- Avoids overloading you with too much information
In certain situations, and in the professional judgment of your doctor we sometimes make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation.
A typical visit will generally last about 15-20 minutes. However, every patient is unique, so the time we spend with each patient will vary. We believe that healthcare is not one size fits all, and we take pride in making sure that we evaluate each individual patient and provide them with customized care.
With the groundwork laid in the consultation and report of finding, we can quickly size up the condition of your spine and nervous system, adjust you and get you on your way.
We recognize your time is valuable. So we do everything possible to run on time and minimize the impact on your busy life.
