Our approach

How your first visit works.

Persistent pain can affect how you move, sleep, and take part in daily life. Pain rarely has a single cause. Alongside the examination and imaging, your evaluation looks at the factors that affect how pain feels and how you recover: movement, sleep, nutrition and stress. This is lifestyle medicine: a medical specialty that uses those daily factors as part of treatment.

Before you come in

A few things you may be wondering.

What does care cost after the evaluation?

It depends on the care you choose. Follow-up visits with Dr. Lazaro are $400 each, as needed. The Pain & Function Program starts at $1,800 for 3 months. Procedures such as PRP are priced in your written plan only if they are recommended.

Do you take insurance?

What should I bring to the evaluation?

Bring a current medication list, relevant imaging and reports, and a summary of treatments you’ve already tried. It also helps to note the activities your symptoms make difficult and the questions you want answered.

Will I need an injection or a procedure?

Not necessarily. Recommendations follow the evaluation. Dr. Lazaro will discuss options, their limitations, and whether a procedure is appropriate for your situation.

If I join the program later, does the $450 count?

Yes. If you start the Pain & Function Program within 30 days of your evaluation, the $450 goes toward it. There is no obligation to join.

No. Some people need only the evaluation and written plan. Recommendations follow the evaluation, and the decision is yours.
