FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I practice and recommend to all Chiropractic Physicians that they have a normal and customary price for all services regardless of who is paying the bill. It should not matter whether your are paying out of pocket, having an insurance company help pay for your services, or having a friend or relative help pay for your services. Our pricing is the same, and in my professional opinion that is the way it should be regardless of who you seek for health care services. If you are seeking for some kind of hardship discount you should be prepared to back up the nature of the hardship with hard facts. Too many seeking for hardship discounts really don't have a real hardship, just misplaced priorities.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In Utah we are required to complete 40 hours of continuing education every two year relicensure cycle. I usually complete many more than the minimum required. I actually teach classes to other Chiropractic Physicians for continuing education credit. I have also served the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) in developing Nation Licensing Tests and administering National Licensure Tests. I also serve as the Legal/Legislative Chairman for the Utah Chiropractic Physicians Association (UCPA)
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Look for quality of professional training (Palmer Graduate) and experience ( number of years experience). You may ask other Chiropractic Physicians who they go to for care and/or who they ask when they need advice. You can also ask your neighbors, friends, and medical providers who they would recommend for care. Make sure that you are planning on going to a full service provider vs someone who only specializes in a small nitch area of practice. When it is all said and done you may have to see several providers until you find someone that you feel really comfortable with.
