What to expect at your appointment
Scheduling:
All visits are by appointment only. Please call to schedule an appointment for osteopathic consultation, medical consultation, or both. One can schedule osteopathic consultation with treatment for their initial visit, both can be accommodated unless Imaging is needed prior to treatment.
Preparing for your visit:
It is incredibly important that patients with complex medical history prepare ahead of time for their visit. Patients are asked to create a timeline of events including all relevant injuries, surgeries, hospitalizations, specialist consultations. Please bring reports of important radiologic imaging and copies of recent laboratory data. One could easily spend 2 hours in conversation trying to get this information and we would like to use that time to sort out the fine details of your history and to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that will bring you to a place of health and healing.
COVID 19:
Due to the current Coronavirus pandemic we need to all take meticulous precautions. If you have experienced any recent shortness of breath, fever, fatigue, loss of taste/smell, cough or sinus congestion please inform our office and we will triage you over the phone or via telemedicine. Likewise, if you have been exposed to someone who has had any of the symptoms above, please inform the office prior to your appointment. We will need to have appropriate testing performed and you will need to be symptom free for at least 2 weeks prior to your entry into the office.
Each visit is by appointment only. There will be no walk-ins. This is to ensure your safety and everyone’s safety who comes into the office. The office will be sterilized after each visit. At this time, everyone in the office will be required to wear a surgical mask to ensure we maintain a safe environment. Once the pandemic outbreak is under control we will loosen restrictions.
Clothing:
Unlike massage therapy, you will not be asked to undress for your treatment. Please wear comfortable flexible clothing (Ie yoga, workout clothing). Avoid restrictive clothing such as jeans, belts, dress shirts.
Visitors:
Family and friends are always encouraged to be a part of your consultation. This often provides comfort and reference. Please inform us if you anticipate bringing more than two acquaintances into the office with you. Please make sure that any office visitor is free of any symptoms mentioned above or any other contagious illness. If you have questions regarding exposure safety.… just call and discuss before the appointment.
