Expect your first visit to Full Potential Health Care to be a little different. You will be scheduled to spend an hour with Dr. Bauerschmidt. Most of that time will be in his office where you will have the opportunity to tell your health story; your concerns, your symptoms, your history and most importantly your goals. You’ll also go over the basics, allergies, medications, hospitalizations, what has or has not worked for you in the past. Further, since there is the inseparable connection between mind, body and spirit; how stress shows up in you, how you deal with it and what your support systems are is also an indispensable part of your health story and gets to be heard.
Following the history, a traditional physical exam follows with emphasis on looking for the physical signs of nutritional deficiency as well as an overall screening of your physical condition.
If you have recent laboratory or medical records with you they are reviewed for completeness and to help Dr. Bauerschmidt avoid costing you money for unnecessary duplications.
