  • How much time is spent with the doctor? You should plan for a minimum of one hour with the physician for your initial appointment. Be on time and be prepared by making a list of questions for the physician and bringing that to the appointment. It is important that you are well rested and comfortable and open to dialogue with your physician.
  • How important are previous medical records or past tests? Our review of your past medical records (that relate to your condition) and results of past tests is an essential component to your overall evaluation. Also include alternative therapy discussions and their success or failure.
  • Is a referral from another physician necessary? No, we are primary providers; however,  some HMO’s may require referral.
  • What if rescheduling is necessary? Please notify the Center at least 48 hours in advance should you need to reschedule an appointment.
  • Is payment expected at the first visit? Payment is expected at the time services are rendered. We will provide you with a completed billing statement for submission to your health insurance company. Cost will vary dependent upon the services provided. Please call toll free 1-800-991-6783 for a fee schedule.
  • If supplements are suggested as part of the individualized maintenance plan, where can they be purchased? Supplements are many times an important and necessary part of the individualized maintenance plan and can be acquired in various ways: (1) at the Center visited (2) at most health food stores in the Valley.
On appointment day:
  • Allow a minimum of 1 hour with the physician, this should be plenty of time for the screening test.
  • Expect a short physical examination by the physician to benchmark your condition and assess the sensitivity of the traditional tender points.
