Patient Intake Form: Part #1

Health History Questionnaire Instructions: 
Holistic health care and preventive medicine can be best delivered when the physician has a deep understanding of the patient on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level.  Such analysis is only possible when you have detailed information about your past and present health issues.  Thus, it is requested that the following questionnaire be completed as thoroughly as possible.  Any question that seems significant should be answered; and if it is a more complicated than a yes or no answer, please give an explanation, and rate the significance of the symptom with a 1-10 rating.  Any question which was not understood should be indicated with a question mark. Ideally this questionnaire should be copied from the web page to a Microsoft Word document.  At that point you may type the information into the document next to the question, and email it to naturedox@qwest.net, or fax it to 503 255 1888.
