What should I expect at my first visit?

New Patient Forms (click here to download forms)
Upon scheduling your initial appointment, we request that you fill out our new patient forms.  You may print them out from our website and fill them out at home in order to save yourself time at the office, but don’t forget them at home!  If you are unable to download and print them out, we request that you arrive no less than 15-20 minutes prior to your appointment to fill out the paperwork.  This provides adequate time to complete the paperwork and to keep you on time for your appointment.

This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your current health complaint so that we may better serve you.

Consultation & Examination
Once we have your paperwork, you will be ready to meet with Dr. Melton.  She will discuss your health history as well as your current health concerns.  Upon review of your health she will better be able to provide you with potential treatment options.

If you decide that you would like to continue and begin treatment, we will begin by performing an Electro-Meridian Imaging examination to evaluate your level of health and imbalance. 

Treatment
Treatment is available at the time of your initial appointment.  Dr. Melton recommends that her patients receive both acupuncture and chiropractic care as they complement each other in providing care to your entire health system.  However, if you are only interested in acupuncture or chiropractic, we are happy to provide you with the service that you seek and feel most comfortable with.

Treatment plan
Each person’s treatment plan is tailored to their individual health and response to treatment.  There is no standard treatment plan for everybody.  We treat each person individually and therefore individualize our treatment plans.

Our goal is to get you feeling well and improve your quality of life as quickly as possible.  However, in order to reach these results, a commitment must be made to follow the treatment recommendations.  We will work with you to help you reach your health goals.
