Your First Visit

Your first visit to our office is our first opportunity to exceed all of your expectations.  You will be greeted enthusiastically by one of our fantastic front desk chiropractic assistants, Colleen or Stacy.  They will ask for your completed New Patient Health History Forms (located in the New Patient Center of the website).  You will be escorted on a personal tour of the office before your consultation begins so that you can find your way around the office (everyone needs to know where the bathroom is).

Your next step is to meet with one of the doctors; Dr. Cox or Dr. Harrigan, in a private, one on one consultation. This private time gives each of us the opportunity to get to know one another on a more personal level and find out who you really are, what your unique health challenges have been and what you want your health future to look like.  We will discuss why you are here as well as any other additional details you wish to discuss prior to the examination related to your case.

Your exam will then begin with one of the doctors or Stacey, our Wellness Exam Specialist. We will take you through the examination process consisting of computerized static electromyography (sEMG), computerized surface infrared thermography, digital photographic posture analysis, computerized digital range of motion testing and many other chiropractic tests. We will make sure that you understand everything. Do not hesitate to ask questions, they are expected. One of the major premises of this office is that you are responsible for your own health. After all how can a person make the best decisions for themselves if they do not have all the facts? 

After the exam, we will take the appropriate measurements for x-rays, if they are needed. The doctor will then only take the indicated x-rays using cutting edge x-ray technology.  Your doctor will wrap up the exam, answer any final questions that you may have and outline the second visit, "The Results of Tests" appointment.

Finally, you will speak with one of our front-desk superstars to schedule the second appointment with the doctor in order for us to go over the results of your tests.  Our experience is that since there is so much new and different information being presented, directly relevant to your care, that you should bring your spouse, significant other, or friend with you for the "The Results of Tests" appointment. This will benefit you tremedously by having someone there to help you process all of the information and lend support for the process you are about to embark upon.
