What to Expect: Days 1 and 2

Day 1

Patient Forms

As you may expect, Dr. Lee will ask you to fill out some forms to gather much needed information about you and your condition.  All forms will be provided when you arrive, but you can choose to fill them out prior to your visit.  Just click New Patient History under the Online Forms, print, and complete.  Don't forget to bring them with you to your first visit!

Consultation

Dr. Shawn R. Lee will review your forms and have a consultation with you.  Please feel free to discuss your health care goals, current symptoms, concerns, any injuries or accidents, health history, and everything the doctor may need to know when determining your diagnosis.  Healthcare can be scary for some people, but we want you to know that you have come to the right place.  It's Dr. Lee’s mission to find the cause of your condition and offer you solutions to get you back to where you'd like to be in your health.   ________________________________________

Examination

To find the cause of your condition, we will need to gather as much information as possible.  A complete examination will be performed.  The doctor will be using standard neurologic, orthopedic, postural, and physical examination to pinpoint the exact nature and cause of your condition.  The results of these tests will help Dr. Lee customize a treatment plan just for you.

X-Ray Studies

To fully evaluate your condition X-rays may be needed and for your convenience we provide X-rays onsite!  Since nobody has x-ray vision it is the only way we can see what is happening inside your body.  If you have recent films or MRI’s please bring them with you we will be happy to review them.

Day 2

Report of Findings

Day two is answer day!  Dr.  Lee has studied your films, your history and the results of your examination and determined your diagnosis.  He will answer some key questions, such as:

1. Why do I have pain?
2. Can you help me?
3. What do you recommend?
4. Will it get better?
5. How much will it cost?

Dr.  Lee will outline your customized treatment plan with his expectations for your care.  He will also review your coverage as outlined by your insurance company and any arrangements for payment.   Together you will form a plan to get you that healthy, pain-free life.
