FAQs

What can I expect on my first visit to David Stevenson Physical Therapy?

Please arrive 10-15 minute prior to your initial evaluation with necessary paperwork (you may complete the paperwork at your convenience by downloading forms online). At that time, our office staff will review your paperwork and insurance benefits and ensure that you have all that you need prior to your start of care. You will then be evaluated by one of our licensed physical therapists. Your evaluation will be a one-on-one session in which the clinician will perform a thorough exam to determine the cause of your problem or complaint. Based on this evaluation, you will be consulted on your diagnosis and any questions you have about your therapy plan will be addressed. You will also be issued an initial home exercise program that is prescribed by your clinician specifically for you. Frequently, there is also time for a short treatment, during which immediate relief of your problem area or pain can be addressed.

What should I bring to my first visit?

You should wear or bring comfortable workout clothes (including shoes and socks), your prescription from your physician, your insurance card, and a method of payment of your co-pay/deductible if applicable. If you use an assistive device (like a cane, walker, or shoe orthotics) that relate to your diagnosis, please bring that with you
as well.
