What to expect when you are a patient at A Better Balance
New Patient Appointments
Patients are usually looking for answers, and want to make sure they get on the right path! We offer an initial appointment that usually lasts 1 hour. During your visit, Sue takes the time to listen to all of your concerns and questions. Then she will review your thorough medical history that you have completed prior to your appointment. Sue really believes that every patient should have a great understanding of how their body works and how they can benefit from integrative treatment.
Continuation of Treatment
After your initial visit, there are usually multiple steps to get you back to your optimal health. Most new patients will need to follow up with Sue within 1-3 months. Lab work is usually recommended for these appointments, but not as extensive as in the first visit. Sue is going to customize your ongoing treatment plan based on your individual needs.
Established Patients
A comprehensive recheck of lab work is suggested once a year. Once you and Sue have a good hold of your treatment needs, appointments can be less regular. During the year, Sue recommends following up every 3-6 months to fine tune your ongoing treatment. If you are stable on your current treatment plan, 6 month follow ups are appropriate.
