What to expect at your pain manage appointment

You will be checked in at the Pediatric Pain Management Center's front desk to sign in and complete insurance information.

A medical assistant will measure your child's weight and vital signs, and check you into a patient room. You will then meet with the provider or providers you are scheduled to see at your appointment. In our clinic, you may see a variety of providers including, but not limited to, doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, medical assistants, physical and occupational therapists, psychologist, counselor, and social worker.

Following your appointment, you will check out at the front desk and schedule your follow-up appointment at that time. If procedures or further workup is needed, you will receive information about scheduling as needed.
