What we do not do at a first visit
We do not ask for a plan up front
You don't sign up for a series of visits before your exam.
We do not take x-rays by default
Only when medically necessary, and your doctor tells you why.
We do not adjust your neck without explaining first
Your doctor explains the risks before any neck adjustment, and you can say no.
We do not ask for health details online
Our website form asks for contact details only. Your doctor asks about your health in person.
