Becoming a New Patient: |
|---|
| It's easy to become a
new patient at our office. However, you may have some questions about
the whole process. So, this page is designed to help answer some
of the most common questions we encounter regarding becoming a new patient.
Frequently Asked Questions Q. - "Are you accepting new patients?" A. - Yes, we are accepting new patients. Since our job is to fix people's bodies, we regularly have patients successfully completing their care. This makes room for more new patients like you. Q. - "Do I need a referral from my family doctor to become a patient?" A. - No, you do not need a referral from your family doctor to see Dr. Nyman. You have direct access to chiropractic care in Ontario and no referral is necessary. If you are under your physician's care and they are referring you to Dr. Nyman, a referral letter or note may be helpful. Q. - "Do you have a waiting list?" A. - No. Our "flex-booking system" allows us to see new patients on a priority basis. That means you won't have to wait very long. We can often accommodate you into our schedule on the same day, or at most within 48 hours. Q. - "What if I was referred for physio or massage?" A. - The choice is yours to make. In our biased opinion, we believe there is no better treatment choice than chiropractic when it comes to rehabilitating many soft-tissue and skeletal injuries. Chiropractic care also works well in conjunction with physiotherapy and/or massage therapy. So you might be able to do both.
Q. - "How much does it cost? Does my insurance cover it?" A. - Many extended health plans cover a portion or the entire cost of chiropractic care up to a yearly maximum without any requirement for medical notes. Please check the specific details of your benefits plan. If you don't have benefits, chiropractic care is still affordable. It is often cheaper to fix your body than your car and you can't replace your body as easily as your car. Chiropractic care has been shown to be one of the most cost-effective treatment choices for low back pain in several international studies. It has also been shown to have one of the highest satisfaction ratings from patients. |
