What to Expect

We know that when you’ve been in pain for a long time, you might feel anxious or skeptical about seeing yet another provider. That’s completely understandable. Here’s what makes an appointment with Dr. Kruman different:

• You’ll actually be heard. New patient appointments are approximately 60 minutes—not a rushed 15-minute visit. Dr. Kruman will take the time to understand your complete pain story: when it started, what makes it better or worse, what you’ve already tried, and how it’s affecting your daily life.

• You’ll get real answers. Through a thorough examination and diagnostic assessment, Dr. Kruman will identify what’s actually causing your pain. He’ll explain everything in clear, understandable terms—no confusing medical jargon.

• You’ll have a plan forward. Before you leave, you’ll understand your diagnosis and have a personalized treatment plan. No vague ”come back in six months” or “it might get better on its own.” You’ll know the next steps and what to expect.

• What to bring:

  • Photo ID and insurance card (if using insurance)

  • List of current medications and supplements

  • Any medical records or imaging you have

  • Your questions—write them down so we make sure to address everything
