What to expect when scheduling an appointment
The Spine Medicine Institute has implemented a system called Priority Consult® to ensure that you are scheduled with the most appropriate physician who can meet your needs. Priority Consult® is a simple and effective way to prepare you for your visit and make sure we have everything we need to provide the best care possible.
How it works
When you call to schedule an appointment, our intake specialist will obtain a detailed medical history and ask you if you have had a recent x-ray, MRI scan, or CT scan of your back or neck. After we gather your information, a physician will review your medical history and films (if available) and may recommend that you see a spine surgeon, pain management physician, rehabilitation specialist, or primary care physician trained to manage back and neck pain. The physician may also recommend that you begin physical therapy with one of our network therapists though Saint Alphonsus Rehabilitation Services (STARS). Our intake specialist will contact you within 72 hours with the physician’s recommendation and schedule an appointment with the appropriate physician. The intake specialist will provide you will educational information, help coordinate your treatment, and obtain an x-ray, MRI scan, or CT scan (if necessary) before your appointment.
If you are referred to the Spine Medicine Institute through your physicians, we will contact you to obtain your medical history and films within 24 hours of receiving the referral.
