Your First Visit

What to Expect

Your initial consultation is an important step in your care journey. Here's what will happen.

1

Check-In & Paperwork

When you arrive, our front desk staff will help you complete any necessary paperwork, verify your insurance, and collect your co-pay if applicable. Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for this process.

2

Medical History Review

A member of our clinical team will review your medical history, current medications, allergies, and symptoms. This helps us understand your complete health picture.

Physical Examination

Your neurosurgeon will perform a comprehensive neurological examination, including assessment of strength, sensation, reflexes, coordination, and balance. This examination helps identify the source of your symptoms.

If you've brought imaging studies (MRI, CT scans, X-rays), your neurosurgeon will review them with you, explaining what they show and how it relates to your symptoms.

Discussion & Treatment Planning
