What to expect:

The doctor will review your main complaint and perform a thorough history and exam. If she considers this something she can immediately begin to treat, she will review your condition with you, including possible risks and approximate treatment duration. At this point the doctor will either begin treatment with your consent, or send you out for additional studies, if it is determined  immediate treatment is not in your best interest.

As most people seeking treatment exhibit some level of pain,  Dr. Guthrie prefers to treat on the initial visit, if deemed appropriate.

What to wear:

Though Dr. Guthrie does have gowns and shorts, please bring or wear loose, comfortable clothing. If you are coming in with a neck, upper back or shoulder injury, a tank top is preferred. If you have a hip or knee complaint, please bring or wear shorts.
