Before the visit
Prior to your New Patient Examination, we will provide you with an Intake Form and a Metabolic Assessment form. These forms need to be completed before your scheduled appointment time. The information you provide on these forms equips us with the necessary contact information, current and past health complaints, and details on your current symptoms.
You can email it to us at staff@joyofhealth.org or print it out and bring it with you:
During the visit
At your New Patient Examination, Dr. Joy will take a full history and talk to you in detail about the nature of your health concerns. She will then perform her comprehensive exam. This exam usually lasts about 40 minutes, andwill likely need to be rescheduled if you are late or arrive with your paperwork unfinished.
After the visit
A Report of Findings follow-up appointment will be scheduled for at least a day after your exam. We welcome spouses and partners to come with you at this appointment, as we know making changes for better health often requires support and understanding from loved ones. At the Report of Findings, the doctor will provide a detailed written report of the significant/relevant findings from the examination. The Doctor will line out a treatment plan with visit recommendations and the costs associated with them. After committing to the doctor's recommendations treatment can begin.
