There are two ways to complete your new patient paperwork:
- Fill out the new patient paperwork (Packet) by hand or by typing in the information online. Please print the paperwork out at home and bring it with you to your office visit. It takes about 20-30 minutes to complete the form. Please make sure you have sufficient time to finish it.
- Fill out the new patient paperwork online at Onpatient.com (you will need to request access from our staff) AND a brief paper form (Packet) by hand or by typing in the information online. Please print the paperwork out at home and bring it with you to your office visit. It takes about 20-30 minutes to complete both forms. Please make sure you have sufficient time to finish them.
The initial visit will involve a detailed history in an effort to define the factors causing your allergy or triggering your asthma. A physical examination follows. Armed with this information, our providers are able to determine what allergy tests (skin and sometimes blood tests) are needed to diagnose and confirm the severity of your allergy. Breathing, or pulmonary function tests, are used to evaluate your asthma. A treatment program can now be designed and tailored to your individual needs. The program may include environmental control, medication or allergy injections, as well as specific patient and family education relating to you.
