As my clinic has expanded with so many wonderful patients, it's time to change up how I will be accepting new patients. The long standing "first time patient evaluation for free" has been a wonderful marketing tool to drive many people in at no risk. My plan is to keep that feeling but with a slight shift.

Starting on Sept 1st, I will be offering my first time patient evaluation with treatment for a one hour time slot where the evaluation portion will still be free but the treatment will be charged at a guarantee. Basically if the new patient and I both agree that what I did was helpful, then they will pay the standard rate for the treatment (depends on how much time we spend on evaluation vs treatment) and we will set up a schedule for treatment. However, if either one of us do not feel like my treatment was beneficial, then no payment will be accepted and I'll make my recommendations for where this person might seek appropriate care.
In the same way that I charge only for the time I am treating you, so it will start with the very first session. If a patient comes in with a complicated case and we spend more time talking than treatment, the cost will be less. However, I recommend that new patients stay on task with only one or two areas of focus so that we can start solving problems as quickly as possible.
Reminder: my new patient guarantee only applies to new patients who have never received a treatment by me.
