How to Refer a Patient to Dr. Peter Caron
Physical therapists, psychologists, counselors, and physicians send me patients whose progress has stalled. Here is how to refer one, and what you’ll hear back from me.
How to refer
Three ways to send a patient.
Call me, email the office, or use the referral form below. After we talk, your patient can book directly and mention your name when they do.
Who refers to me
Who I work well with.
Psychologists and counselors
The patient who is doing the work but whose body stays braced, with shallow sleep and a nervous system that won’t settle.
Physicians
Chronic pain, migraine, or a functional complaint when the standard options have been tried.
What I’ll send back
After the initial visit, I send you a short summary of what I found, what I did, and what I recommend next.
Working together
What to expect from me.
Talk through a case
Call me about a patient before you refer anyone. We’ll go through the case, and I’ll tell you what I would treat, what I wouldn’t, and whether it’s worth referring the patient at all. There’s no obligation on either side.
What I won’t do
I won’t treat around a problem that belongs in your hands. If something comes up during treatment that you should know about, you’ll hear about it from me promptly.
Referral form
Send a referral or flag a case.
Leave your details and I’ll call you back to go over the patient.
Colleague to colleague
Call to talk through a case.
The phone is the quickest way to reach me. If I’m with a patient, leave a message and I’ll call you back.
