Frequently Asked Questions
Which conditions do you treat?
Dr. Visger primarily treats bodily pain such as that which comes from nerves, muscles, and joints. This includes almost everything from head to toe! Pains that are triggered by a certain motion or position, such as turning your neck or bending your back, are usually easiest to heal quickly. Dr. Visger also treats newborns for nursing and neck issues. If you are unsure if Dr. Visger can help, just call and ask!
Do you take insurance? What should I expect to pay?
Yes! Dr. Visger accepts most health insurances in our region. Our patients generally pay a specialist copay. You may have to pay your full deductible first. If you call with your insurance information ready, we can help you figure it out!
Do I need a referral or an XR or MRI before scheduling?
Generally, no and no! If you already have XR or MRI done, simply tell Dr. Visger at your first appointment. He can usually look up tests that were done in Trinity or Corewell systems. If your imaging tests were done outside of those systems, then you are welcome to bring in a disc of them for Dr. Visger.
Do I need to stop my other treatments when I see you?
The vast majority of patients stop their other treatments once they see Dr. Visger. The safest plan is to continue whatever you have been doing until you can ask him.
I think I need surgery. Should I see you first?
YES! Four of Dr. Visger’s favorite words are, “Save me from surgery!” You should click the link above to The Dr. Visger Show and see some of the tough cases for whom he has already done this.
How does the first appointment usually go?
The best way to learn about how visits with Dr. Visger go is to watch The Dr. Visger Show! You can see how his appointments really go and start to get to know him! (Click the link above.)
Please bring your ID, insurance card, and payment. If we mailed you paperwork, please bring that, too. Wear comfortable, flexible clothing. Jeans are not ideal.
Please arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment so we can complete your check-in smoothly.
Do you order XRs and MRIs? Do you prescribe medication?
Dr. Visger is a fully-licensed, board-certified physician specialist and can order and prescribe anything. However, he rarely prescribes medication because it is rarely curative or substantially helpful in healing his patients. He orders imaging when a patient he needs more information to manage a tough case.
