Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring to my first podiatry appointment?
Please bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card, a list of any current medications, and your completed new patient forms. It is also helpful to bring any relevant medical records, imaging, or a pair of shoes you frequently wear so we can assess wear patterns.
What happens during my first visit?
Your first visit includes a thorough discussion of your symptoms and medical history, followed by a physical examination of your feet and ankles. If needed, we may perform diagnostic imaging. Your podiatrist will then explain the findings and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
Do I need a referral to become a new patient?
In most cases you do not need a referral to schedule an appointment with us. However, some insurance plans require one, so we recommend confirming your coverage with your provider before your visit to avoid any surprises.
Can I fill out my new patient forms before arriving?
Yes, and we encourage it. Completing your forms ahead of time helps your first visit go more smoothly and reduces your wait. You can download and print the new patient form from this page, then bring it with you or submit it in advance.
How early should I arrive for my first appointment?
We recommend arriving about 15 minutes early so there is ample time to check in and address any remaining paperwork. If you have completed your forms in advance, check-in will be quick and easy.
Is it normal to be nervous about seeing a podiatrist?
It is completely normal to feel nervous before a first visit, especially if you have never seen a foot doctor before. Our friendly, experienced team is dedicated to making you feel comfortable and informed throughout your appointment.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept a wide range of insurance plans. Because coverage varies, we recommend contacting our office before your appointment so we can verify your benefits and answer any questions about costs or payment options.
