Our goal is to give you an expert and up-to-date evaluation and to educate you about any problems we may diagnose.

Initial Visit & New Patient Forms

The purpose of this visit is to begin a thorough evaluation concerning your childs medical issue. Your first visit will include a detailed medical history, physical examination and laboratory tests as necessary. At the conclusion of the initial visit, the significant findings will be summarized and the initial course of action will be outlined. We do not perform invasive procedures on the first visit. You are always encouraged to ask any questions. It is of the utmost importance to us that you understand the nature and treatment of your problem.
