What To Expect From Treatment
It is important that a thorough evaluation is done at the beginning of treatment by a therapist and or doctor to determine the most appropriate recommendations for treatment. Together you, your doctor and your therapist will discuss a treatment plan to establish the goals of treatment and the right approach to reach those goals. Therapy is teamwork; therapists and doctors have the training and experience to offer direction and assistance, but individuals are in charge of hat changes they are willing to make. A variety of therapeutic approaches may be used to bring about the desired changes. How long treatment lasts is also determined on an individual basis. Termination should be a joint decision as it is an important part of the therapy process.
 

Office Hours & Appointments
Business office hours are Monday-Thursday 9:00am to 6:00pm. Friday and Saturday hours vary from clinic to clinic. Appointments can be made by calling your clinic directly. For clinic phone numbers and locations, find a location. After each appointment, it is best to schedule your next appointment before leaving the clinic.

If you must cancel an appointment we ask for a 24 hour advance notice to allow time for another patient to be scheduled. You will be subject to a charge for the appointment time if you do not properly cancel the appointment. This charge will not be covered by your insurance company and will be your responsibility.
 

Emergencies
At times, emergencies do arise when the clinic is not open. Our answering service is available to receive emergency calls and help you through your emergency. If you have an emergency, call your clinic number and let the operator know your emergency situation. Your physician or therapist will call you back as soon as possible. If your physician or therapist is not available, the operator will contact the on-call clinician. We appreciate your consideration in using this service for emergencies only.
