Q. What should I do if my symptoms are not improving with the prescribed treatment?

A. Even if you are not feeling better right away, we recommend that you continue with the prescribed treatment until your next appointment. This is due to the fact that any new treatment may require some time before you notice improvement in your symptoms. If by your next scheduled appointment your symptoms have not improved, the treatment will be reevaluated.If the treatment is making you feel worse or if you have an unexpected reaction to treatment, please call the office. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
