Your Initial Office Visit
Your initial visit with Dr. Patrick Tyrance, Jr. will consist of a comprehensive examination and evaluation of your orthopedic problem and symptoms. At this time, if necessary, you may also have X-rays depending on the nature of your problem.
Dr. Tyrance will review your medical history and discuss your injury or problem at length, gathering facts and details to help with the diagnosis, and then perform a thorough examination. He will than explain his findings and, if necessary, make recommendations for any other diagnostic testing. Once a diagnosis is established, he will discuss your treatment options and address your questions and concerns.
Once treatment begins, or following surgery, your progress will be carefully monitored by Dr. Tyrance on subsequent visits, until such time as he feels you can be discharged from his care.
To ensure that your first appointment runs smoothly here are a few things you can do:
Arrive 15 minutes early so that you can fill out any paper work that you were unable to download from the website.
Bring all medical records, such as MRIs, x-rays or any information that are important to your injury or condition.
Complete the appropriate new patient forms and bring them with you (see Patient Forms).
