What is a DO?

PROCESS


EVALUATE

You visit our office, where we take a detailed history and physical exam.

TREAT

We perform a complete neurologic, musculoskeletal, and osteopathic structural evaluation, and begin your osteopathic treatment.

PLAN

We provide a personalized assessment with recommendations for sleep, nutrition, exercise, ergonomics, and other lifestyle changes.

Initial visits are generally 1.5 hours and follow-up visits are about 1 hour. Our office collects payment in full at the time of the visit. We will be happy to provide a superbill for each visit, detailing the medical treatment, diagnoses and charges. The patient may present the superbill to their insurance company for any potential reimbursement per their personal coverage and plan.

Fees depend on the complexity of history and treatment and range from $300-$450 for adults and $170-$300 for pediatrics.
