Resources For Your Journey
Starting Care​​​​
Taking the first step can feel like a lot. Knowing what to expect can help you feel more comfortable and prepared.
Your First Appointment
Your first visit is a chance to share what brings you in, ask questions, and discuss what you hope to gain from care. We’ll talk about your concerns, health history, previous treatment, and goals. Together, we’ll explore next steps that fit your needs.
​
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you arrive.
​
What to Have Ready
Please complete any intake forms sent to you before your appointment.
It’s also helpful to have for your forms:
-
A photo ID and insurance information, if applicable
-
A current list of medications and supplements, including doses
-
Relevant medical records, previous evaluations, or recent lab results, if available
-
Notes about your symptoms, previous treatments, and questions
​
If you’re unsure which records would be helpful, contact the office before your visit.
​
Insurance & Payment
We are in network with Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, Optum, UHC/UMR, VA Community Cares Network, and TriWest. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan and provider.
