Frequently asked questions

We try to see all patients in a timely manner. However, patients may not always be called in the order they arrive for several reasons:
Certain medical conditions require a faster response than others;
Some patients may only need to see the nurse, or get an X-ray or lab work;
Or, our ZIPPASS, a 24/7 online scheduling tool that allows patients to choose a convenient time for their visit.

If you have insurance, please bring your insurance card. If you are 18 years of age or older, you must provide a valid photo ID. If you are under age 18, a guardian must be present at the time of treatment and provide a valid photo ID.In addition, bring the name, dosage and directions for any medications you take.

If the provider determines you need to be seen by a specialist, we will make a recommendation for you. We typically arrange your appointment with one of our trusted specialists, or a specialist of your choice.

If an X-ray is needed, a team member will come to your exam room. If there is any possibility you could be pregnant, it is important for you to inform the team member. After explaining what X-ray you will have, you will be escorted to the X-ray room. You will need to remove any jewelry, or clothing that may interfere.
