For the first visit, we will spend 1 to 2 hours gathering information on the history of your complaint, performing a complete physical exam, reviewing medications and supplements, and discussing any lab results or therapies you may have received. You will be asked to submit to the LifePoint Clinic all medical records pertinent to your current complaint, a new patient intake form, and HIIPA authorization so that we may have a better understanding of your condition, as well as provide you with outstanding service. As part of your consultation, you will receive a copy of the diagnosis, plan of care, and recommendations for your treatment.<\/p>
During your visit, I encourage you to raise any concerns, doubts, or questions you may have about acupuncture and Oriental medicine. I would like to help you better understand our approach to treatment so that you may have the most positive experience possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Initial Assessment<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
