New Patient

Overview

We are looking forward to having you as a new patient. We have put together some information that will answer many of your questions and prepare you for your first visit to our office. Additional questions and answers are available by reviewing our Frequently Asked Questions section.


What to expect

When you arrive at Eyecare Chattanooga, you will be greeted by our receptionist who will ask you to complete your new patient information forms. We participate in most major medical plans. We ask our patients covered under plans requiring referrals for visits to specialists to obtain a referral before their visit.

During your visit, your visual acuity will be tested in both eyes, pupils tested for reaction to light, eye movement assessed, peripheral vision checked; and eye pressure measured for glaucoma. The ophthalmic technicians will talk with you to get a more detailed medical and ocular history. Drops will then be placed in your eyes to dilate your pupils (it is suggested that you have someone drive you to this appointment).

After your pupils are dilated, the doctor will meet with you and examine your eyes. The doctor will use highly sophisticated and specially-designed medical instruments and depending on your medical condition, other special tests may be performed. After your examination, the doctor will thoroughly discuss the findings and make treatment recommendations.

Information on your evaluation, test results and treatment is always available for you, so that you may be actively involved in your care. Of course, the information will also be sent to your referring doctor.
