To ensure a smooth and efficient first appointment, we kindly ask all established and new patients to complete the necessary patient forms and consents. These forms can be found on our website and any required forms will be clearly indicated.
To make the process even more convenient, you will also receive these forms via text or email. We kindly request that you fill them out prior to your appointment. Please note that it is essential to have these forms completed before seeing Jackie. This allows us to have all the necessary information to provide you with the best possible care.
If you have any questions or need assistance with the forms, please do not hesitate to reach out to our clinic. We are here to support you and ensure a seamless experience.
During your first appointment, you can expect a thorough and comprehensive assessment of your health. Here's what you can anticipate:
1. Conversation: The appointment will begin with a very laid back conversation between you and Jackie (she likes to keep things simple and fun!). She will ask you detailed questions about your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle and any concerns you may have. This conversation is crucial in understanding your unique health situation.
2. Physical Examination (if necessary): Depending on your specific needs, a physical examination is usually conducted. This examination may involve checking vital signs, listening to your heart and lungs, examining specific areas of concern or conducting other relevant tests.
3. Discussion of Labs and Medications/Supplements: If you have had any lab tests done in the past six to twelve months that are relevant to your visit, it is helpful to bring the results with you. Jackie will review these results and discuss their implications for your health. Additionally, she will inquire about any prescription medications or supplements you are currently taking.
4. Impression and Testing Options: After gathering all the necessary information, Jackie will provide you with her initial impression. She will also discuss the available testing options that can help clarify the overall picture of your health. This may include ordering additional lab tests or diagnostic procedures.
Remember, the first appointment is an opportunity for Jackie to gather as much information as possible to better understand your health needs. It is also a chance for you to ask any questions or express any concerns you may have. Open and honest communication is key to ensuring the best possible care. To ensure a smooth and efficient first appointment, we kindly ask all established and new patients to complete the necessary patient forms and consents. These forms can be found on our website and any required forms will be clearly indicated.
In most cases, a follow-up visit will be scheduled for about 2 to 3 weeks after the initial appointment. This follow-up visit allows for a more in-depth discussion of your health history, review of any lab work and further exploration of potential treatments.
Treatment Plan: Based on the information gathered during the initial consultation and any subsequent testing, Jackie will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan may include lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, supplements, medications or other interventions aimed at improving your health and well-being.
In order to ensure your progress and cater to any necessary lab testing, Jackie typically schedules future follow-up visits approximately 3 to 4 months after the initial meeting. These visits serve as an opportunity for Jackie to check in with you, assess your well-being and discuss any concerns or updates. By maintaining this schedule, we aim to support you throughout your journey towards your desired outcome.
Should you happen to arrive ten minutes late for your scheduled appointment, we regret to inform you that it will be automatically cancelled. However, we want to assure you that you will still have the option to reschedule if you desire to do so. In the event of a missed appointment without any prior communication, a $75 fee will be charged as a no-show penalty. We completely understand that unexpected circumstances can arise and we will make every effort to be flexible and accommodating in such situations. If you continuously fail to show up for appointments without providing any prior notice or do not abide by the 24 hour notice rule, it is within the rights of wUrthy Health Clinic to terminate your association with our practice. Thank you for your understanding.
