Your First Visit

You’ll be warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. Help is on its way!

New patient filling out paperwork

When you first arrive there will be some brief paperwork to complete.

New patients often remark how “homey” our practice is. That’s good, because our goal is to offer state-of-the-art chiropractic care in a comfortable surrounding. So, make yourself at home!

Make Yourself at Home

You’ll find plenty of convenient parking and well-lit parking. You’ll be greeted by name when you enter our practice and given a short tour to get you acquainted with our facilities.

If you’ve already completed your admitting paperwork, great! If not, after doing so we’ll likely show you a short 5-minute video and then you’ll meet Dr. Rob Garfinkel. Click here to download the new patient paperwork and complete at home!

We Explain Everything First

The purpose of your pre-care consultation is to discuss your health goals and see if you’re a good candidate for chiropractic care. If it looks promising, a thorough examination will help us identify the likely cause of your problem.

Patients appreciate that we explain everything in advance!


Your Second Visit

Report of findings

On your report visit we explain what we found and how we may be able to help you.

On your report visit we explain what we found and how we may be able to help you.

After we study your health history and correlate our examination findings, we’ll make recommendations designed to help you get and keep your health. We call this the Report of Findings.

This is usually attended to on your second visit, which may be later the same day or the following day. This two-visit approach accomplishes several things:

  • Reduces the length of your first visit
  • Gives us time to correlate our findings
  • Avoids overloading you with too much information

In certain circumstances we make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation.
