How to Prepare For Your Patient Consultation at Our Pain Clinic

When you visit one of our pain clinics for a consultation, you’ll meet with a doctor who specializes in your type of injury. Our doctor will examine you and recommend the next step, such as:

• Refer you for imaging tests, like X-rays or MRIs, to get a better look at your injury.
• Provide an immediate pain relief solution such as an Epidural Steroid Injection.
• Recommend a minimally invasive procedure such as Rhizotomy.
• Refer you to a physical therapist, neurologist, or surgeon for further treatment.

Our goal is to help you find relief and feel better as soon as possible. With this in mind, our doctors will create a personalized treatment plan that works for you.

The treatment process at our pain clinics is designed to be as simple as possible for you.

1. Come in For a Consultation – The first step is visiting one of our pain clinic locations. Meet with our pain specialists so they can evaluate your injuries and determine the next steps for recovery.
2. Visit a Diagnostic Imaging Center – In most cases, our patients are referred to a diagnostic imaging center for further evaluation. This allows our doctors to get a better understanding of your injuries and make accurate treatment recommendations.
3. Understand Your Treatment Plan – Based on the results of your imaging tests, our doctors will create a treatment plan tailored to you. Your plan could involve physical therapy, pain clinic injections, or other pain management strategies. If surgery is necessary, we’ll refer you to one of our trusted surgeons.
4. Follow Your Treatment Plan – To help you find pain relief as quickly as possible, our staff will assist you with the next steps in your recovery. We’ll help you schedule follow up appointments, coordinate with your other healthcare professionals, and document your treatment process.
5. Share Your Documentation – Once you’ve recovered, we’ll share your medical documentation with your attorney. Our detailed reports will help your attorney settle your case so you can recover your medical costs.

Our goal is to help you find immediate pain relief after your accident, work injury, or slip-and-fall incident.

Once you schedule your free consultation at our pain clinic, there are a few things you can do to prepare for your appointment, such as:

• Bring any attorney information and/or medical records related to your injury.
• Arrive 15 minutes early to fill out your patient forms, or do this ahead of time.
• Bring your insurance card, one form of identification, and medical history information.
• Have contact information for any healthcare professionals you’d like us to coordinate with, such as your GP or physical therapist.
• Bring a pen and paper to take notes or write down answers to your questions.

If you have any questions before your free consultation, call us at 1-833-4FPGDOC. Our friendly staff is happy to answer your questions and help you prepare for your upcoming visit to our pain clinic.

Your initial consultation with our doctors is free. Your medical costs will also be covered if our doctors recommend imaging tests, evaluations, or other procedures. You don’t have to worry about out-of-pocket costs for your treatment – as long as you have Letters of Protection (LOPs) from your attorney and it’s part of your recommended treatment plan.
