– Your vital signs and weight will be taken.
– Maldonado will discuss your medical history, conduct a physical exam, and talk with you about your treatment goals.
– For your safety, additional tests may be ordered by the doctor, if indicated and to provide an accurate diagnosis. The tests may include such – diagnostics as blood tests and special imaging.
– As the support staff working with Dr. Maldonado, we are happy to help you obtain the pre-certifications you need for diagnostic imaging such as CT scans and MRI scans. We will help you choose a facility, make an appointment, and obtain authorizations. To complete the process, you will need to schedule the appointment and notify us of the date and location of your procedure.
– If you do not have complex health issues and if your insurance does not require any sort of pre-authorization, you could be eligible for a procedure on the day of your consultation. Please note, however, that in most cases, a consultation alone is performed on the initial visit.
