Everything you need to come prepared.
What to bring, what to expect, how appointments run, how insurance works, and answers to the questions we hear most often.
What to expect at your first visit
Your first appointment should be smooth and productive. Here’s what we’ll do and how to prepare.
Bring with you
- Photo ID
- Insurance card(s)
- List of current medications (including dosages)
- List of allergies
- Relevant medical records or test results (if available)
- Any imaging CDs (ultrasound, CT, MRI) related to your condition
- Questions you’d like to discuss
Arrive early
Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to complete any necessary paperwork.
During your appointment
- Review your medical history and current symptoms
- Discuss what’s bringing you in today
- Perform a physical examination as appropriate
- Order any necessary tests or imaging
- Discuss initial findings and potential next steps
- Answer your questions
Plan for 30 to 45 minutes for a new patient visit. Some appointments may be shorter or longer depending on complexity.
Your understanding matters. Ask questions if anything is unclear. There are no “dumb questions” when it comes to your health.
After your appointment
You may need to get lab work or imaging studies, schedule a follow-up, start recommended treatments, or return for test results and treatment planning. We’ll provide clear instructions before you leave.
Insurance and billing
We accept most major PPO insurance plans and Medicare.
Common accepted plans:
- Most PPO plans (Aetna, Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, and others)
- Medicare
Coverage and benefits vary by plan. We recommend verifying your specific coverage before your visit. Our office staff can help confirm your benefits.
Payment
- Co-pays and deductibles are due at the time of service
- We accept cash, check, and major credit cards
- Payment plans may be available for larger balances
Out-of-network
If we are out-of-network for your plan, we can provide documentation for you to submit for potential reimbursement. Check with your insurance company about out-of-network benefits.
