New patientsNew Patients: What to Expect at Your First Visit
No referral, no insurance paperwork, no surprises. Here is how your first visit goes, so you can walk in already knowing the plan.
How your first visit works
1. Book a time that works
Schedule online any time, day or night, or give us a call. Pick the slot that fits your day.
2. Fill out your intake form at home
Your intake form arrives by email after you book, along with instructions and appointment reminders. Filling it out ahead of time means your visit is spent on you.
3. Tell us what is going on
Dr. Isaiah starts by listening: what hurts, how it started, and what you want to get back to. Then he examines the area to find what is driving the problem.
4. Get a plain answer and start care
He explains what he found in plain language and tells you honestly whether he can help. If care is a good fit, treatment typically starts during that same visit.
What your first visit costs
A first visit, including treatment, is typically around $100.
We are a direct pay practice, so there is no insurance to verify and no bill showing up weeks later. The cost can vary with what your care involves, so ask us anything about pricing before your visit. You also have the right to a Good Faith Estimate, and a superbill is available on request if you want to seek reimbursement from your insurer.
If ongoing care makes sense for you, our wellness plans are one option to keep it affordable.
What to wear and bring
- Wear clothes that give easy access to the area that is bothering you. Shorts for a knee or hip, a tank top or loose shirt for a shoulder or neck.
- Complete your digital intake form before you arrive. It comes to you by email after you book.
- No X-rays or other imaging required. Most patients do not need them. If your exam shows that imaging would help, we can typically get it done the same day.
- That is it. No referral and no insurance card needed.
A little nervous? That is normal.
Plenty of people feel that way before a first visit, especially if they have never seen a chiropractor. Here is what you can count on.
- You see Dr. Isaiah every visit. One doctor who knows your case.
- Nothing happens without your okay. He explains each step before he does it, and you can ask questions or say no at any point.
- You get a straight answer. If he does not think he can help, he will tell you.
- No pressure. You decide what happens after the first visit.
- Care like he would give a friend. That is how he treats every patient who walks in.
