To all our new patients:
No body likes to wait in a doctor's office browsing
dirty old magazines with missing pages! Though our magazines are new, we would
like to get you in out faster. No more waiting in the medical office, filling out 5-6 pages of medical
history!
Welcome to our paperless office! We offer
online forms, electronic medical record (EMR) and electronic prescriptions
(e-prescriptions). We eliminated the need for printed questionnaires by placing
the history intake process online!
Follow these steps:
-
Please download this
and give us consent to treat you. Bring
your picture ID and insurance cards. You don't need to make copies; will will
scan your documents and return them at registration.
-
You canyour medical complaints and information online using our secure
link (SSL encryption) and arrive at our office 20 minutes
prior to your
scheduled appointment.
There is no typing, just click your choice of answers to
a series of computer generated questions. Its important you answer all
questions, do not skip! if you omit any question, you may need to update
again, on our office computers, probably causing some delay!
Please pay attention: if
you are claiming disability welfare or work restrictions you need to complete
the relevant sections, otherwise we don't have your information to complete
insurance forms, claim forms, letter to employer or medical-legal experts that
follows your visit.
Please try to complete online before 7am on the day
of consultation. Your information is reviewed by Dr. Thiyaga or medical
staff from 7am onwards. Preview of your information helps us to start
planning your treatment options. Information entered after 7am will be
reviewed at time of consultation.

enter your entire medical history in less than 30 minutes. Dr. Thiyaga will
see you immediately after entering all necessary information into our system.
We value your time, and need to help you as soon as you step into our office.
-
Please bring your medication bottles, any available medical record, MRI /
CT images when you visit us. Dr. Thiyaga is very much interested in reading
your images. Your referring doctor, does not send the real images, he or
she will only fax a radiologist's report. A radiologist's report is good for
radiological interpretation, it may be different from pain physician's
perspective. Dr. Thiyaga is interested in examining a patient and correlate
pain with image findings and offer treatment options that will suit the
patient. After all, we treat pain not the radiologist's report! Please obtain
MRI images from the facility it was taken, we prefer them on a CD (compact
disc). We don't have access to your images unless you personally bring them to
our facility.
