New Patients

At The Health Doctors, Ltd. we use a two-visit new patient process. Upon arrival for your first appointment you will be warmly greeted by one of our amazing front desk staff, who will review your online paperwork and confirm everything necessary was completed. At this time there will be a few items to sign in person. We will make a copy of your insurance card and identification. You will then taken into the Exam Room where the doctor will first meet with you to begin the consultation and exam, which incorporates many aspects, but with three main categories.

First one of the doctors will go over an extensive history with you in regards to your current and past health challenges if any. Second, we will spend time explaining how chiropractic wellness care works, and specifically how things are done in our office. We strongly feel that the more we know about you, and the more you know about us, the more we can help, and that is our primary mission.

The third component is likely the most important and is begun once the consultation is done. This component is our comprehensive examination. The exam done at our office is very thorough and expansive, allowing us to figure out exactly what is going on with your health, and what the true cause of your challenges are.

We perform a computerized exam that allows us to measure the amount of stress on your central nervous system. This test is the foundation of our exam.

The major emphasis of our initial exam is to evaluate your spine and central nervous system, determine how it is functioning, and find where the stress and challenges are that will need to be addressed.

The doctors will then go over all the information gathered on this first visit and create a specific treatment plan to address and remove your current health challenges. This first day is very comprehensive, but should still be finished in about an hour.

In an effort to help our patients, if you have a child with special needs that you feel won’t be able to sit through our intake process, we can schedule a new patient phone consultation to shorten the amount of time spent in the office during the first visit appointment.

On your 2nd visit, our front desk staff will again greet you and get you checked in for your appointment. You will then be taken to the doctor’s office where one of our doctors will go over all the results of your examination. We refer to this as your Report of Findings. This is also the time where you have the freedom to ask any and all questions you may have.

First, the doctor will explain the results of the scans that were performed. The scans have 2-3 components depending on what was done, and each will be explained and related to your specific concern or condition. Again, this is the most important piece as you will be re-scanned on a very specific schedule in order to track and document your improvements.

It is very important to us that you have a good understanding of what is going on with your spine and central nervous system, so again questions will be taken throughout the entire Report of Findings.

Lastly, we will go over the details of your treatment plan and answer any and all questions you may have. Most treatment plans consist of three phases, and those will be explained. If any additional consultation, examinations, referrals, or any other form of additional testing is recommended, we will go over those as well.

When your report is finished, you will then be taken to an adjusting bay for your first adjustment. Once that adjustment is performed and you are on your way to improved health and wellness, you will then meet with our Billing Manager to go over the financial aspects of your care.

The entire second visit should again take about an hour, and will finish with scheduling of your first phase of appointments.

Regular care visits take approximately 10-15 minutes.

Our goal for our patients is to live a healthy and happy life while understanding the benefits of what chiropractic care can do to help you maintain that. Most of our patients choose to visit us on a regular basis for care to prevent dis-ease from recurring after they’re feeling better, and we hope you’ll consider that as well after learning more about how chiropractic care works in the long run.
