To expedite the process you can fill out our patient forms ahead of time, located here.
What to expect at your first appointment:
Please try to arrive 15 minutes early to your first pain management appointment and call at least 24 hours in advance if you must reschedule. First you will meet a medical assistant who will check your vital signs and obtain any films/CD and/or written records so they may be shared with your provider. Then the Physician and/or Physician Assistant will complete a thorough review of your medical history and physical examination in order to develop your customized treatment plan.
Due to the length of this examination and various other factors, such as insurance authorizations, please do not expect medications or injections during your first visit.
