Q: What should I expect on my first visit and how long will it last?
A: During your first visit a licensed therapist will review your doctor’s orders on the prescription, take your history, and perform a thorough evaluation. You will likely begin your treatment on the first day so allow approximately 60 to 90 minutes. Please arrive 15 minutes before your first appointment. We will make a copy of your insurance card and have you sign any necessary paperwork at that time.

A: Family members involved in the care of the patient are welcome to attend the initial evaluation, and when appropriate, observe or participate in the actual treatment.

A: The PVHMC Rehabilitation Services Department is a health care provider for most insurance plans. If you are not sure of your exact coverage, we will be happy to investigate it for you. Call 909.865.9810 for more information.
Q: How long will I need to be in Rehabilitation?

All of these factors will become more defined as your therapy progresses, and you will be included in any and all treatment planning.
