Your First-Visit Checklist

What to Bring & Plan For

Preparing for Your Visit

What to Expect At Your First Appointment

01 · Arrival

Arrive 10–15 Minutes Early

Please arrive 10-15 minutes before your designated appointment time. Our office has a large parking lot on site that is free for patients to use. You can access our parking lot via 18th or 19th avenue. These are both one-way streets, so please be aware and circle the block if necessary.

02 · Your Consultation

Plan for 30–60 Minutes

Your consultation with the doctor should last approximately 30-60 minutes. We strive to have accuracy in our appointment times, but occasionally our doctors do run behind. We kindly ask that you allow enough time in your schedule to accommodate wait times.

03 · Insurance

Bring Both Insurance Cards

Please bring BOTH your medical and dental insurance cards. Because our doctors are dual degreed, we can often get services covered under one insurance when the other does not have benefits available. It can delay treatment if we do not have both insurance cards accessible.

04 · Identification

Bring a Photo ID

You will also need to bring a photo ID. If the patient is a minor, we will need the photo ID of a parent or legal guardian.

05 · Payment

Copays at Check-In

If your insurance specifies a copay, we will collect it when you check in. Please be prepared to pay that amount at the time of service. Our staff will check your insurance benefits prior to the appointment and contact you regarding any expected out-of-pocket expenses.
