What parents ask before they book

You and your child talk with the doctor first. Then the doctor examines how your child moves and explains what they found, in plain words. Care starts that day only if you agree. A parent or guardian stays with a child under 18 for the whole visit.

Like any health care, chiropractic care has risks. Soreness or tiredness after a visit is the most common. Rarely, more serious problems can happen. Your doctor explains the risks that apply to your child before any care, and uses light technique matched to your child's size and age. Some problems need a pediatrician or other physician first, and we will say so.

Your doctor tells your child what each touch will feel like before it happens, and stops if your child is uncomfortable. Some children feel a little sore afterward. Tell us if yours does, and we will adjust what we do.

Your doctor sets a plan after the exam and reviews it with you at each visit. We do not promise a number of visits, and you can stop at any time.

We bill most PPO plans and some employer plans, and what a plan pays differs from plan to plan. Our front desk checks your benefits before the first visit. The answer is the same at all four offices, and the full explanation is on How fees work.

You have the right to a Good Faith Estimate, and we give you a written one before the first visit. Your doctor tells you the fee for each part of the visit before it happens, and we can give you an itemized receipt to send to your plan.

Only when it is medically necessary. Your doctor explains why before taking any, and most first visits do not include them.

Yes. Babies are seen with a parent beside them, and expecting parents can come at any point in a pregnancy. We tell your midwife or OB we are seeing you if you ask us to, and we check with them first if your pregnancy is high-risk. We do not claim that care changes how a pregnancy or a birth goes.

Please tell us. We ask for your child's health history at the first visit, and with your written permission we can share notes with the pediatrician. We keep your records private and share them only as the law allows.

Please call us as early as you can if you need to change a visit. Ask the front desk about our cancellation policy. It is the same at all four offices.
