New patients
Your first visit
Know what to expect and find the patient intake form before your appointment.
What to expect
At your first appointment, we take a thorough history and perform a focused exam to assess your areas of concern and discuss how we may help. The initial evaluation, including treatment if the doctor considers it appropriate, typically takes about 45 minutes. Please plan accordingly.
Complete your paperwork
Download and print the patient intake PDF. This is the same form previously linked on our site; it is a printable form, not an online questionnaire. If a question is unclear or does not apply to you, leave it blank and discuss it with the doctor at your first appointment.
The form asks for sensitive personal, health and insurance information. Please do not send it in an ordinary contact message or email; ask the office how to bring or return it securely.

Imaging and referrals
We do not perform imaging such as X-rays or MRI in-house. If the doctor considers imaging necessary, we will refer you to a local radiology clinic to help with an accurate diagnosis and your care.
First-visit questions
Will I receive treatment at the first visit?
The initial appointment includes an evaluation. Treatment may also be provided if the doctor considers it appropriate; it is not automatic.
What if I have questions about the form?
Leave unclear or inapplicable items blank and discuss them with the doctor at your appointment. You can also call the office with questions.
How can I check my insurance?
Coverage and network participation depend on your specific plan. Contact our office and your insurer before your visit to verify benefits and any patient costs. See our insurance page for questions to ask.
