Going to the chiropractor is serious business. To help you make the right choice, this blog provides a 7-point checklist to review with the chiropractor before you become their patient.
Step 1) Get a Background Check (prior post)
Step 2) Make Sure You Get Full Disclosure (prior post)
Step 3) Force the Doctor to Set Expectations (prior post)
Step 4) Make Sure You Get Routine Questioning
As you visit with your doctor for treatments, it is extremely important that the doctor knows how you are progressing or if there are any new issues that should be considered.
Therefore, your doctor should have a standard way for you to communicate this progress or new developments – preferably as part of the standard sign-in process at each visit.
The doctor should also be available for private consultation at any time throughout your treatment plan – you should be able to request a one-on-one appointment at any time to express your concerns, ask questions or bring new information to the doctor.
And, of course, any of this chit-chat with the doctor should come at no extra charge!
So remember… don’t be shy – you are the customer and if you’re going to invest in a program of care with this doctor, you want to be sure that you can ask questions – and get answers – any time!
All the best,
Dr. Anthony Gondesen
