What is a visit like?

Dr. Emily Chan office visit

There isn’t a typical visit. Visits can be different patient to patient. One patient may experience a variety of types of visits. However generally, a visit starts with a session talking about your medical issues thoroughly, including symptoms other than your main complaint, because they often are related in some way. I may also ask you what you eat, if you are happy with life, your lifestyle habits, family history, what medications or supplements you are taking etc. 


Then such as your vital signs are collected. You also get a pulse and iris analysis. Certain points in the eye and wrist can give some insight to the health of some organ systems. Next, we discuss what therapies will be used, and you leave with a printed set of instructions to take home.

Tests such as an in office BIA (bio Impedance analysis) may be run, especially if you are on the First Line TherapyTM program. Other tests such as food allergy, blood type, heavy metal toxicity, neurotransmitters, cortisol, intestinal function, and genetic polymorphism tests may be ordered. Some visits may consist of bodywork such as visceral manipulation.
