On your first visit to our office you will be welcomed as a member of our family and our receptionist will greet you with a warm smile. If you haven't already filled in and submitted our online forms then you will then be asked to fill out our required forms which will help us gain some information about yourself and your condition. It will save alot of time if you have already filled them in and submitted them online.

Dr. Djetvai will spend approximately 45 minutes with you in order to determine the precise 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.

During the consultation your history will be obtained and you will have the opportunity to ask and have your questions answered. A thorough examination will follow including orthopedic and neurological evaluation, postural and gait analysis, joint and muscle testing. X-ray studies may be utilized to formulate an accurate diagnosis and in order to provide you with an optimum treatment plan.

After a thorough consultation in our office with the doctor, you will have a complete chiropractic examination. This will include testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard orthopedic, neurologic, postural, and physical examinations. The doctor will gain valuable information regarding your condition so that a better understanding of how chiropractic can help you. If necessary, the doctor may request X-rays or refer you for additional testing procedures.

An x-ray is sometimes required to get a full evaluation of a patient. The need for X-ray is considered on a case by case basis.

If the doctor thinks they would be best in your situation, she will refer you for X-rays.

Please bring them with you when you come for your second appointment.

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.

You and the doctor will discuss your individualized treatment plan.

We will address short- and long-term goals and answer the following questions:

1. What is wrong?
2. How can we treat it?
3. How long will it take?
4. How much it will cost?

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 situations, and in the professional judgment of the doctor, we sometimes make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation.

After the investment of time needed on the first and second visits, many patient become concerned that every visit will be of equal length.

In a word: no. A typical office visit may require just five to 10 minutes.

But don’t think the brevity of a regular visit lessens its value! With the groundwork laid, we can quickly size up the condition of 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 you can lose the momentum necessary to make the needed changes.

We recognize your time is valuable. So we do everything possible to run on time and minimize the impact on your busy life.
