Your First Visit

What To Expect At Your First Visit

​

At your first visit, Dr. Wang will spend approximately an hour and a half with you to evaluate your symptoms and your concerns.

​

How is this done?

​

• History Taking: Many patients have multiple symptoms (for example, jaw pain, headaches, sleep issues) to address. Dr. Wang will review, in detail, everything related to your specific symptom(s).

​

• Examination: The exam will typically consist of a cranial nerve screening, dental screening, evaluation of your jaw range of motion, jaw joint (TMJ) and the major muscles of the head/neck/jaw.

​

• Discussion & Review of Findings: Dr. Wang will then discuss her findings with you and will let you know if further diagnostic work (such as scans, consultations with other specialists, blood work) will be required.

​

​

Will You Need A Follow Up Visit?

​

It is difficult to estimate the number of visits necessary prior to an initial evaluation since our patients have a wide variety of symptoms that often need to be evaluated. After your initial evaluation, Dr. Wang will have a better understanding of your individual needs and be able to better address the question of follow-up visits.

Your Personal Therapy Plan

 

Once a diagnosis can be properly made, a custom therapy plan will be created to address  your specific needs and will be reviewed in detail prior to the start of therapy.

​

Due to the complex nature of the chronic pain issues that many of our patients experience, your personal therapy plan may need to be re-evaluated and modified as symptoms improve or change. You will always be consulted and approvals will always be requested prior to any major modifications.

​

Fees are always explained ahead of time to minimize surprises. There is never any pressure to commit to any proposed therapy plan.
