Your
First Visit
On your first visit,
we ask that you bring with you all pertinent
medical records from previous doctors.
The report from the radiologist of your
previous diagnostic studies is extremely
important. We use these, along with a
history and physical exam performed on
the first visit to design a treatment
plan specifically for you.
You
will speak directly with the physician
to discuss all your questions and concerns.
We believe a good doctor must first be
a good listener. Utmost importance is
place upon patient satisfaction. Not all
painful conditions are able to be treated
with interventional pain management and
we do not use narcotics to cover up painful
symptoms. However, in a majority of cases,
we can find the source of the problem
and offer solutions specific to your case.
If
you are schedule for a procedure, do not
eat or drink anything for 8 hours prior
to the scheduled time. You will need to
bring someone to drive you home. If you
are a diabetic or are taking several medications,
make sure to discuss this with the nursing
staff prior to arrival. Some medications
may need to be withheld or decreased prior
to your procedure.
If
for any reason, you are unable to make
your appointment, please call as soon
as possible so that we can offer that
time to another patient who is in need.
