 What 
                    to expect at your first visitIt is very important that we learn as much about you as 
                    possible, in order to effectively treat your pain. Your first 
                    visit will be scheduled for a one (1) hour slot. During that 
                    time you will be asked to complete a questionnaire detailing 
                    your pain and your medical history. A nurse will review that 
                    questionnaire with you. After you complete the questionnaire, 
                    you will be examined by the pain specialist physician. The 
                    physician will then map out a course of treatment.
