First-Time Patient Tips
Bring all relevant medical records, including recent imaging studies, surgical reports, and medication lists to your initial appointment. Compile a detailed history of your injuries, surgeries, and current physical limitations or pain issues. We recommend keeping a pain and activity log for a few days before your visit to help us understand your current functional level.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for physical examination and movement assessment. Bring athletic shoes if you have them, as we may assess your gait and movement patterns. Come prepared to discuss your weight loss goals as well as any physical limitations or concerns you have about exercise. Don't be discouraged if you haven't been successful with previous weight loss attempts - our integrated approach often succeeds where other programs haven't because we address the physical barriers that may have been preventing your success.
