How often will I need to see the doctor?

It takes about two visits after the initial consultation to complete the diagnostic work-up. However, some patients, especially those that come a long distance, schedule the entire work-up in one day. This can be accomplished with good coordination with the office staff. They will guide you as to what is needed to accomplish this.

The program of care then consists of interim visits to the doctor, either once per week or every other week, if possible. This allows Dr. Piro to follow the case and render physical treatments that help balance the nervous system, and handle anything that may be slowing progress. These visits also serve as times the doctor can educate the patient about the condition and what more can be done lifestyle-wise to help. Of course, patients that come from out of the state or country cannot visit the office this often. In these cases, Dr. Piro asks that the patient stays in good communication via email between retests.

Diagnostic retests are scheduled about every two months which consist of a limited portion of the original diagnostic testing. This objectively tracts improvement and enables Dr. Piro to re-evaluate the prescription of care for continued progress. Retests are scheduled at increasing intervals of time as the case improves to the point of only testing once or twice a year for maintenance.
