Initial Visit
The purpose of the initial visit is to determine the cause of your problem.
On the initial visit you will fill out paperwork describing your problem. Dr. DeVreugd will then review your complaint areas with you and ask additional questions regarding your health.
After the consultation, Dr. DeVreugd will perform a thorough examination, including range of motion tests, orthopedic tests, neurological tests and a spinal examination. If necessary, X-rays of the complaint area may be taken.
At the completion of the consultation and examination, Dr. DeVreugd will instruct you to return to our office to discuss your examination and X-ray results with you. He spends extra time every evening reviewing all new patient cases.
Report of Findings
The purpose of this visit is to inform you about your health condition and recommend a treatment plan.
After a comprehensive review of your history, examination and X-ray results, Dr. DeVreugd will decide if he can accept your case.
He will also answer three important questions for you on this visit:
1. What is the cause of your problem?
2. Can we help you?
3. How long will it take?
After he answers those questions, he will review your exam and X-ray findings with you.
Next, our financial officer will answer another important question:
How much does your insurance cover or how much will it cost?
