treatment process
On your first visit we make sure you feel welcome. Our Doctors and Staff will walk you through every step of the process. Upon arrival this is what you should expect: One of our staff members will go over your insurance so there are no suprises with any un-expected out of pocket costs. We will ask for your Drivers License and Insurnace cards as well as completed paperwork. Staff will take you to an examination room where our CCPA will do the first portion of your evaluation (review of paperwork, aquiring previous imaging, vitals and ROM). Once complete your Physician will complete your evaluation. You will then move into a treatment room where you will have therapy and/or your manipulation; that's right SAME DAY TREATMENT!
