Patient Evaluation and Treatment Planning
Comprehensive Assessment Process
Patient evaluation at our Pompano Beach facility begins with thorough medical history documentation and current health status assessment. Dr. Jason Cheshire reviews existing medical conditions, medications, previous treatments, and specific health concerns that might influence ozone therapy suitability.
Laboratory testing may be recommended to establish baseline health markers, particularly important for patients combining ozone therapy with weight loss programs for metabolic optimization. This comprehensive approach ensures patient safety while optimizing potential treatment benefits.
Treatment planning involves collaborative discussions between healthcare providers and patients to establish realistic expectations and develop appropriate therapy protocols. Our Broward County practice emphasizes informed consent and patient education throughout this process.
Safety Monitoring and Protocol Adjustment
Continuous monitoring during treatment sessions allows for immediate response to any adverse reactions or unexpected responses. Our medical team maintains emergency protocols and safety equipment to ensure patient protection throughout therapy administration.
Treatment protocols undergo regular review and adjustment based on patient responses, emerging research, and clinical observations. This adaptive approach helps optimize outcomes while maintaining safety standards.
Follow-up assessments track patient progress and guide decisions regarding treatment continuation, modification, or discontinuation based on individual responses and goal achievement.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ozone Therapy

How long do ozone therapy treatments typically take?
Treatment duration varies depending on the administration method and individual patient protocols. Sessions may range from brief procedures to longer treatment periods based on the specific approach used.
Are there any contraindications for ozone therapy?
Certain medical conditions and circumstances may contraindicate ozone therapy. Comprehensive medical evaluation helps identify potential risks and determine treatment appropriateness for individual patients.
