My First Visit
On your first visit to our office in Winter Park you will be welcomed as a member of our family and our receptionist will greet you with a warm smile. You will then be asked to fill out our required forms which will help us gain some information about you and your medical concerns.
Dr. Douglas Heise will then consult with you to explore treatment options with specific questions regarding your condition. Dr. Heise will determine whether chiropractic and/or alternative medicine care may be of benefit to you. If either or both of these types of care can help, he will let you know by explaining the procedure and goals of an examination. If chiropractic or alternative medicine is not the best option to help you, or he feels that other types of medical care are applicable, he will refer you to another doctor in Winter Park. Nothing will be done in our office without your prior knowledge and consent. Feel free to ask candid questions as you will always be treated with care and respect. Dr. Heise's goal is to coach you through your recovery.
Examination
After a thorough consultation in our Winter Park office with Dr. Heise in which you and the doctor have agreed on a plan of action, you will have a complete chiropractic and/or alternative medical (QRA) examination. This will include testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard orthopedic, neurologic, postural, physical examinations, and QRA. The doctor will gain valuable information regarding your condition to assist him in formulating a specific treatment plan. If necessary, the doctor may take X-rays or recommend additional testing procedures.
X-ray
X-ray is often required to obtain a thorough full structural evaluation of a patient. The need for X-ray is considered on a case by case basis. Dr. Heise utilizes state of the art imaging equipment.
Report of Findings
Once all the information and examinations have been performed, the doctor will give you a report of findings and explain his recommendations for treatment.
Treatment
Most of our patients begin to see results from the very first adjustment. Our special gentle, yet effective, alignment of the body is interactive with the patient, gentle enough for kids (they love us), yet able to restore function and movement for the athlete and senior.
Our office participates in many insurance programs. We also accept auto accident liens and workers compensation cases. To find out if your insurance covers chiropractic care, you can call Dr. Douglas Heise's office directly at 407.677.1660.
For patients who have little or no chiropractic insurance coverage, flexible payment programs can be arranged. Generally, an Alternative Medicine evaluation with Quantum Reflex Analysis (QRA) is not covered by insurance. Please contact us for costs.
