To schedule as a new patient, we require a referral from your healthcare provider. This helps ensure we have the clinical information needed to safely and appropriately manage your chronic pain.

Please ask your provider to fax the following to 203-626-1624:

• Recent office notes related to your chronic pain

• Relevant imaging (X-ray, MRI, CT or ultrasound)

• Pertinent labs

Once your documents are received and reviewed, our office will contact you to schedule your appointment.

Your first appointment is a comprehensive evaluation designed to help Mary understand your pain story and the goals you have for relief and daily function.

Your visit may include:

• A discussion of your symptoms and where the pain impacts your life

• Review of medications and past treatments

• Going over imaging and lab results

• Understanding triggers, patterns, and past challenges

• Setting shared goals for your treatment plan

Mary takes the time to listen, your experiences, frustrations, and concerns matter here.

To ensure the most accurate and personalized care, please bring:

• A list of your current medications

• Any recent imaging reports (if not already faxed)

• Insurance card and photo ID

• A list of past treatments that have or have not helped

• Questions you’d like to discuss with Mary

• Bring any mobility devices, braces, or assistive tools you use regularly
