Your first visit
Depending on your physician’s order, you may begin therapeutic rehabilitation
right away. For other patients, the introductory appointment may involve
a consultation with our neurologist to discuss symptoms and any pre-existing
conditions that might affect your treatment. This may include a physical
examination, lab work, or additional testing.
Once we’ve completed our evaluation, we will help you gain a better
understanding of your diagnosis and treatment options.
Take control of your health
Our program will work directly with your referring physician to develop
a treatment plan and keep them updated on your progress.
