Becoming a Member of the Practice
What to Expect on Your First Visits to Our Office
We are exited to meet you and to have you become part of our practice. The purpose of your beginning appointments is to accomplish two very simple yet very important things:
1) for me to become familiar with you and your health concerns and then determine if the work I do can in fact help you.
2) for you to decide if this is the right place for you to improve your health.
So in order to acco mplish these two simple yet important goals, you will need to set up a New Patient Examination visit with us. You may either call the office at 619-239-0053 to set up your appointment or you may schedule it now through our online scheduling system, Schedulicity (click the “Schedule Now” button below).
In order to save you 15-20 minutes of your time at our office, we have posted all of the required forms here in PDF format so that you may print them out and fill them out at your leisure at home before your appointment.
1) Consent Form – to be read, signed and brought with you to your first visit.
2) Your Health & Wellness History – please fill this form out completely so that we may review all of your relevant health history information (or fill out the Children’s Health Profile for your child if you are bringing them in to be examined).
Again, the purpose of your initial visits with us is to find out what is going on with you and if our office is the right place for you to receive the care you need. Once we gather the necessary information from the consultation and the examination procedures (first visit), we will then tell you what we have found and if we think we can help you (second visit). If we don’t believe that the work we do can help you, we promise to do everything in our power to find the right place for you get the care that is best for you.
The cost is $150 and includes both visits: the consultation, computerized scans, examination, first adjustment, explanation of findings and recommendations. Our office does not accept or bill any health insurance companies – we accept cash, check or credit card. “Superbills” or receipts for services rendered can be generated for you to submit to your insurance company so they can directly reimburse you if your policy covers chiropractic care.
To insure your first experience with us is a pleasant one, here is what you can expect:
First Visit: Welcome to Our Office (approx. 45 min)
Hopefully you will have already completed and brought with you all of the necessary forms for your first visit (see above). Otherwise, please arrive 15-20 minutes early so you have enough time to fill out the forms in our office prior to your appointment time.
During your initial visit, we will:
• Sit and talk with you about what brings you into our office and determine what your goals & objectives are for your health. We will address any current health concerns and review your past health history including past and current physical, chemical and/or emotional traumas that you may have experienced.
• Perform any and all examination procedures to help determine the cause of your health concerns which may include:
- Postural and Range of Motion examinations
- Computerized Nervous System Scans (Surface EMG and Thermography)
- Neurological Chiropractic examination
• Upon completion of this first visit, we will schedule your second appointment with us (if we have not done so already) in which we will review the findings of your examination.
Second Visit: Report of Findings (approx. 20 min)
During this second appointment, we will explain the results of your examinations and make recommendations. We will tell you:
• What we have found.
• How we think we can help you.
• How long it will take to achieve your health objectives.
• How much your care will cost. (Adjustments are $60 and depending on how often you will need to come in, there are discounted packages available as well. The number of visits that will be required to help you with your health problem will be explained to you during this consultation visit.)
Our intention for this second visit is for you to understand your current health status and to have all of your questions answered about the process of your Chiropractic care here so that you can make an educated choice about beginning the program with us.
We want your experience at Warren Family Wellness Center to be an exceptional one. We love to work with families that are interested in, dedicated to and pro-active with their health. We hope you found this helpful to understand what your first visits with us will be like and we hope you’re excited!
If you have any questions beforehand, please do not hesitate to call us at (619) 239-0053. Thank you and we are looking forward to meeting you and sharing the powerful work we do here with you!
