Prior to your initial visit, it is important for Dr. Smith to have notes from your previous physicians. A referral from your primary care provider can often accomplish this. If you have seen surgeons or other specialists, notes from these providers can help Dr. Smith decide the best treatment options for you.

Physical therapy frequently provides significant benefit for painful conditions. Additionally, this is frequently required by most insurance companies before any procedure can be approved. Consider having physical therapy completed prior to your initial visit as this may expedite any treatment plan that could be beneficial for you.
