Regular Visits

For each of your following visits, you sign in as you enter, and you may receive some important material to review while you rest briefly in our “hot-seat” area (no, the seats are not hot), we call it that because we keep this area of our office cooking as we pride ourselves on getting our patrons cared for in an efficient manner. As you advance and depending upon your progress, you may be invited to special suite to prepare for your visit with gentle spinal exercises to assure you get the most out of your visit. Our staff will help you get accustomed to this process.

We have each patron let us know how they are doing today, if you are feeling better, or if you have hurt anything new. We also record the date and time of the visit along with any special findings the doctor learns from you. This is all done in a matter of moments in your adjusting suite. We use special state of the art computer applications to make this quick and thorough – we don’t want to miss a beat. It takes longer to explain than do! When you have been adjusted by the doctor and received your therapy, you check out up front, again paying your visit for the day and any appointments you need are made or confirmed.

Like a regular workout at the gym, each visit builds on the ones before. Miss a visit and you can lose the momentum necessary to make the needed changes.

We recognize your time is valuable. So we do everything possible to run on time and minimize the impact on your busy life

Your Second Visit to Our Practice

On your second visit after you sign in, we will escort you back to the same room you started in before. You will watch a short presentation on chiropractic and your x-rays. Looking at x-rays is not an everyday occurrence for most people, and this short presentation will help you understand what you are looking at and what that means. The doctor will come in after this presentation and go over your specific exam and x-ray findings, and give you options for care.

We always feel as though it is our job to tell you the best that we can do for you. It is your job to let us know what type of care is most appropriate for your needs. Afterwards, the doctor will take you to a treatment room and adjust your spine. You may do some therapy as well. We recommend that you allow 45 minutes to an hour for this visit. This is your last long visit. Once this “getting to know you” phase is done, the regular visits usually take 5-30 minutes.

After you are done with your treatment for the day, you will check out at the front desk, pay your visit for the day and make your next appointment.

Your First Visit to Our Atlanta Area Practice

On your first visit to our office, you will be greeted by our cheerful staff, and asked to sign in. We will get a copy of your insurance card and driver’s license. This helps us get a head start on your paperwork so you can see the doctor as efficiently as possible. We will take you on a short tour of our office, and seat you in a room where you can fill out your initial information. You will then move into the examination room. Here, the doctor will review the information you filled out to better understand what brought you in and what challenges you are facing. He will review what will be done on this visit, and what the cost will be with you. For most people, a complete examination is done, including x-rays if the doctor feels they are necessary. We recommend that you allow about an hour and 15 minutes for this first visit.

Generally, after the examination, the doctor will escort you to the front desk where you signed in, and you will be checked out. At the end of your visit, we will make an appointment for your next visit, where the doctor will review your examination findings and make recommendations for your care. In special cases where a person enters in pain the doctor may be able to do this later that same day once a thorough review of your case is complete.

We Explain Everything First
The purpose of your consultation with the doctor is to discuss your health goals and see if chiropractic is likely to help you. If it looks promising, a thorough examination will help identify the cause of your problem.
Our chiropractic patients, and those deciding if care is right for them appreciate that we explain everything in advance!
