About Our Staff

Contact Us

If you are interested in setting up an initial comprehensive visit with Dr. LaCava, please contact our office at (508) 854-1380. 

These appointments are scheduled for an hour in duration, but please plan to be here for approximately up to two hours.  The initial visit requires questionnaires, checklists, and summaries that need to be completed by the patient (or parental guardian, if the patient is a minor).  These forms can be sent to you by mail, or you can download them here on our website below. If you are not sure which forms to use, or have questions about the forms, please call us at 508-854-1380 on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday.

The forms that are appropriate for you need to be completed in full and returned to our office for receipt BEFORE your appointment.  We highly recommend that you have these documents returned to the office AT LEAST ONE WEEK prior to your visit.  Please note, if you send your information in advance, you will have a much better experience, since our physician will become familiar with your case in advance.  For more information, or if you have questions, please contact our office and we will be happy to assist you.

Choosing the Forms to Complete

You do not need to complete every form listed. Only complete the forms that apply to you. We will explain this.

All patients 16 years and older should fill out these two forms:

Food Frequency Questionnaire (Adult)

Chronological Summary



IF your symptoms vary from day to day or month to month, and you believe the symptoms may be triggered by environmental exposures (including chemicals, allergies, tick-borne disease) then you should fill out one of these two forms:

Adult Allergy Database & Health History
(for patients 16 years old and older)

Pediatric Allergy Database & Health History
(for patients 15 years old and younger)


If these forms are NOT appropriate for you, then for an adult (16 years and older) please fill out one of the following two forms:

Initial Health Survey for Men

Initial Health Survey for Women

Please print each item indicated, and complete and return them to our office as soon as possible. Do not use email to return these forms, it is not secure, and the quality is very poor.  

Should you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment for any reason, you must do so at least three business days prior to your appointment.
