New Patients at Adelphia Chiropractic Health
Even the Skeptics are Amazed!
You will immediately feel at home the moment you walk in the door.
So many times we hear from our patients how they hesitated to make that first initial appointment because they’ve been told so many times, “there’s nothing that can be done for you” or “you may have to live with the pain for the rest of your life.” They ask themselves, “How can chiropractic care really help me?”
Until the care they receive at Adelphia Chiropractic Health starts to pay off and they realize they’re no longer in pain… their overall health has improved! Then they ask themselves, “Why didn’t I make an appointment sooner?”
Your First Visit
During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Tas will take a thorough case history and answer all of your questions. 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.
You’ll find plenty of convenient parking and a well-lit parking lot. You’ll be greeted by name when you enter our practice and given a short tour to get you acquainted with our facilities. We ask that you fill out our new patient intake forms, which can be downloaded and completed prior to your arrival. If you’ve already completed your admitting paperwork, great! If not, a chiropractic assistant will help you complete the paperwork and answer any questions you have.
We’ll then escort you to the doctor’s private office for your complimentary consultation, where you’ll meet Dr. Anastasios Hatzakos or Dr. George Hatzakos.
A thorough examination will be performed to determine the cause of your problem.
The purpose of your consultation with the doctor is to discuss your health goals and see if chiropractic is likely to help you. If it looks promising, a thorough examination will help identify the cause of your problem.
The examination includes orthopedic, neurological and range of motion testing. X-rays may also be taken if necessary.
Physiotherapy may be given the first day to help relieve the patient’s pain. For example, ultrasound, electric muscle stimulation and ice therapy may be administered.
A typical first office visit is usually about an hour in length.
Your Second Visit
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
The doctor will explain the cause of your problem and treat the cause, not just the symptoms. In certain circumstances, we make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation.
During your second office visit, the doctor will explain to you how long your care will take, including how many visits may be needed and the cost of your care, including insurance coverage or financing options if needed. A typical second office visit is usually about 30-45 minutes in length.
Regular Visits
What You Can Expect When You Stop In…
After the investment of time needed on the first and second visits, many patients become concerned that every visit will be of equal length.
In a word: no.
A typical visit may require just a few, highly-focused minutes.
But don’t think the brevity of a regular visit lessens its value! With the groundwork laid, we can quickly size up what’s happening with your spine and nervous system, adjust you and get you on your way.
Like a regular workout at the gym, each visit builds on the ones before. Miss a visit and we can lose the momentum necessary to make the needed changes.
We recognize your time is valuable. We do everything possible to run on time and minimize the impact on your busy life.
