Consultation
WHY?
The key to fixing your pain is a thorough thorough evaluation. We created Full Circle to go back “full circle” to the days of truly taking care of people. This cannot be accomplished in 5-10 minutes as in most medical visits these days. We believe that spending time and looking at the whole person is the most successful way to rid your problem. Therefore, we have designed the practice to allow ample time to discuss your issue and to fully evaluate it. This means that your first visit will in the office will take about an hour. Then, there is review of records, review of imaging, and collaboration with other providers outside of your visit. The time spent in the office as well as the time spent on your case outside of your visit is all part of your initial comprehensive consultation.
WHAT?
The goal of our consultation together is to:
- Unravel the pain problem and discuss your goals
- Acknowledge your fears and concerns
- Discuss further evaluation if needed – imaging, labwork, or other
- Discuss your treatment options and create a plan that we both feel good about
- Possibly rid your pain during the first visit with a safe, effective treatment tools
HOW?
You may establish an appointment by calling, texting, or sending an email. Once you have scheduled a consultation, you will receive intake forms to fill out electronically. We may request other pertinent information such as imaging, records, or contact info of other key providers involved in your case such as coaches, other healthcare providers, etc. Our office is located at 4500 N 32nd Street, Suite 120, Phoenix, AZ 85018, please plan to spend an hour at your first visit.
EXPECTATIONS?
When you leave our office, you should feel cared for and empowered by the knowledge of what is likely causing your pain. Hopefully you will feel more at ease regarding any concerns and fears. You will feel clear about the diagnostic and/or treatment plan. You will feel confident that you have access to your provider directly should any further questions or concerns arise.
Number of visits varies depending on your issue type and complexity, but we aim to rid the pain as quickly and completely as possible. This means that some issues are resolved in one visit while others may take longer.
RISKS?
There is no risk to coming in for a consultation except time and money spent. Once you leave, we hope you feel it was well worth it! It might also be surprisingly fun and more enjoyable than most medical visits you’re accustomed to. When leaving our office, many patients will comment “I wish I would’ve come in sooner!”
NEXT STEP?
Please text or call 602-466-9703 or email [email protected] to schedule an appointment. We do not bill insurance directly. We feel insurance demands can be a distraction and inhibit us from focusing on what’s right for you and your treatment plan. Therefore, the practice is designed as a self-pay fee for service. Oftentimes, patients will then submit our notes for insurance reimbursement. Importantly, you may still use your insurance benefits for any imaging, lab work, and other diagnostics that we agree is necessary. We look forward to meeting you!
