ORIENTATION
FOR PROSPECTIVE & NEW PATIENTS
Join Us For Orientation!
While not a requirement to be a patient at the Carolina Center, our live New Patient Orientation on Zoom every 10-14 days is the best way for prospective patients to learn important information prior to the initial visit. While some of the procedures we follow are familiar to many of our current patients, there is much that is new, and this is a great opportunity to better understand the practice of Integrative Medicine and how our office works.
We invite everyone to attend the Group Orientation sessions as we believe the information provided will be very valuable and even help established patients to get more out of their experience at the Carolina Center. This is an excellent opportunity for our patients to invite their friends and family to learn more about the Center and understand more about their treatment process.
What makes the Carolina Center for Integrative Medicine unique compared with conventional medical facilities
How we approach health and disease at the cellular and molecular levels rather than the more conventional emphasis on organ systems
The various treatment modalities we utilize to help our patients achieve their goals
How we utilize diet and nutrition as the foundation of our programs, giving specific instructions as to how to adjust your diet to eliminate any food sensitivities or allergies
How we evaluate health status using a variety of laboratory and other testing techniques
How to maximize reimbursement from your insurance company and gain a better expectation of out-of-network costs
How our practice operates with explanations about how to schedule appointments, how to contact us if you have questions and other information about the policies and procedures of our office
Recommendation for specific supplements that can be started prior to the initial office visit
What to expect after starting your treatment plan—for example, what the subsequent 4 to 6 months will be like, and potential timetables for accomplishing your goals

What If I Can't Attend Orientation Prior to my Appointment?
If you were unable to attend the New Patient Orientation prior to your initial office visit we encourage you to attend the next Orientation prior to your first follow-up office visit. There is still valuable information to be learned that will enhance your understanding of our approach.
Is Orientation Mandatory?
We believe that participating in the orientation session and following the preparatory recommendations we have developed sets the stage for you to achieve the most effective outcome. We do, however, recognize that some patients need to be seen more quickly and we are willing to work with those individuals to expedite their visit.
Prospective patients who have completed orientation will receive priority scheduling. While we understand that not everyone will be able to complete orientation, learning about our practice in advance and how we operate, will better prepare patients and their families.
Pick Your Date
Our free online orientations are scheduled on Saturdays every 3 to 4 weeks at 1:30pm. Dr. Pittman typically speaks for approximately 2 hour followed by questions and answers. If you select a date but need to reschedule, just sign up for the next date that works best for you and your schedule.
After You Sign Up
One of our team members will be in touch 1-2 days prior to orientation to provide you with more information on how to log on (this will include a link). Also please see the video below for a tutorial on how to join a meeting.
Q&A Opportunity
At the end of each of our orientation seminars, you will have the opportunity to ask Dr. Pittman a short question to better determine if we are the right place for your health care needs.
