What To Expect On Your First Visit

Please complete our New Patient Forms prior to scheduling your first appointment. The forms can be found under the First Visit tab on our website. All new patients are required to complete and submit the necessary forms, regardless of whether they have been referred by another provider. We are unable to schedule your appointment until all required New Patient Forms have been completed and submitted.

Once we have received your completed forms, a member of our office team will contact you to schedule your first appointment. Please allow 3–5 business days for our team to reach out.

Please plan to arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to allow time for check-in and to confirm any information that may need clarification.

Please bring the following with you to your appointment:

• Photo ID (such as a driver’s license)
• Insurance card(s)
• Current medication list, including dosages
• Prior medical records, if applicable
• Physician referral, if applicable

Please be prepared to pay your co-pay or co-insurance. A charge card or cash is always the easiest. We may ask to take your picture during this visit for a chart copy.

Your first visit will include an interview, examination, and discussion time. We may not provide a firm opinion on the first visit. It may be necessary to conduct laboratory or radiology tests before a diagnosis or treatment recommendation can be given. This may take several visits. The results of your tests may be complicated, which is why we review them face-to-face instead of on the phone.

You are welcome to have family or friends accompany you to your appointment. However, we will not discuss your condition unless you are present or provide us with specific authorization to do so.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the new patient process or your appointment, please call our office at (714) 771-5700.
