At The Practice of Dr. McKalip, you will see a doctor first
On your first visit, you will see a spine specialist who will spend 45 minutes
with you to understand your medical history and make sure you are safe.
This is a key difference between other spine and brain clinics and the practice of Dr. McKalip.
At most other spine clinics, you will often see a nurse for 95% of your visit and a doctor
will spend perhaps 5 minutes with you.
Dr. McKalip, your doctor, will determine the cause of your spine pain
condition and get to the root of your problem and determine the proper treatment.
