Your first visit takes about 45 to 60 minutes. Arrive 15 to 20 minutes early and bring a photo ID, your insurance card, a list of your medications, and any MRI, X-ray or CT images you have. If you're coming in under workers' compensation or a no-fault auto claim, bring the claim details as well.

That way there are fewer surprises when you get here.

Five steps from the first call to the start of treatment.
Use the booking form or phone the office. A patient coordinator will ask a few basic questions and check your insurance before you come in, so you'll know where your coverage stands ahead of time.
Download the new patient forms from our Online Forms page and complete them before your appointment. Your doctor can read your history in advance, which leaves more of your visit for talking about your pain.
Download new patient forms →Pull together your ID, insurance cards, medication list, prior imaging and any referral. The checklist below has everything. Check-in goes faster when it's all in one folder.
Plan on 45 to 60 minutes with your physician. They'll go over your medical history, ask about your pain in detail, examine you, and look through any prior imaging and records. You leave with a treatment plan written for your situation, not just a prescription.
Depending on your condition and what your insurer requires, a procedure may be scheduled the same day or at a follow-up visit. Our staff handles the prior authorization paperwork for you.
Having these on hand means your physician can start from a complete picture.
We accept most major insurance plans. Coverage differs a lot from one policy to the next, so when you call to schedule we'll review yours and give you an estimate of what it should cover.
PPO
No referral needed. You can book directly with a specialist.
HMO
You'll need a referral from your primary care physician.
