Your Entire Medical Evaluation with your Doctor.
At many practices, the patient spends far more time with a nurse or physicians assistant. That is not the case with Dr. McKalip.
At Dr. McKalip’s practice all of your medical time is spent with Dr. McKalip, a board certified brain and spine surgeon.
All new patients have 45 minutes of time dedicated to the patient. During that time the doctor will listen to you about your symptoms. He will then examine you and show you your images to fully help you understand the problem at hand. Then Dr. McKalip will work together with you to develop a customized plan that suits your needs. Those coming back will have 15 to 30 minutes for their follow-up visists.
Unlike many other practices where the patient talks to a nurse for 90% of the visit and spends little time with the doctor, when you see Dr. McKalip, all of the medical part of your visit is exclusively with him.
Not overscheduled.
Unlike many other practices, you will see the doctor at the scheduled time or very close to it. Dr. McKalip does not over schedule so you will wait prolonged times in a waiting room to see him. Patients are given paper work ahead of time to complete to ensure that when you come, you can see the doctor at the scheduled appointment time.
