Your First Visit to Our Lee's Summit Practice
When you first enter our clinic you can expect a warm smile and friendly greeting from a member of our staff.
To ensure exceptional diagnosis and care, you need to plan on spending about one hour for your first visit. To insure your first visit is a pleasant one, the following procedures are performed.
Of course, there will be some paperwork to fill out which will help us attain some information about you and your spinal health. And, if there is any insurance you would like us to check on, this is the time to give us that information.
We welcome and serve patients of all ages... infants to seniors, families and individuals. If the patient is a minor, please see that a parent or guardian is present, at least for the first visit.
Consultation
Once you have finished your paperwork, the staff will give you a tour of our office and explain the services we offer. You'll meet the doctor who will review your health history and discuss your condition to determine if chiropractic care may be of benefit to you. If the doctor feels your condition would be better served by another physician, he will recommend you see a doctor specializing in your particular health needs. If together you and the doctor decide that this is the right place for you, the examination process begins.
Examination
The doctor is very thorough in the examination, which is designed for your specific condition. The examination could include testing your range of motion as well as other standard orthopedic, neurologic, postural, and physical examinations. From this, the doctor will gain valuable information and a better understanding of how chiropractic can help you.
Special Procedures
Dr. Pattison may also discuss nutritional recommendations, therapy, PH testing, diet concerns, Hormonal/saliva testing, stress reducing factors, exercise program, testing muscle memory. I will be striving for your total health stability so we will evaluate each patient’s health problems and I will recommend what I feel will be needed to bring you back to your level of health.
X-rays
X-rays are sometimes required to get a full evaluation of your condition. The need for x-rays is considered on a case by case basis. However, if needed, our office has an on-site, state of the art x-ray facility for your convenience.
Correlation
Following your examination, you will be scheduled for a report of the doctor’s findings. The doctor will go over the results from your examination as well as to review any x-rays that may have been taken. Because your health, or lack of health, doesn't affect just you, we will often suggest that you bring a friend, or significant other with you for your report of findings. Plan to spend 30-45 minutes on your next visit to receive the doctor's report of findings and recommended chiropractic care.
