What to expect at your first visit

Your first visit is a chance for us to get to know you and understand what matters most to you. We’ll listen to your concerns, review your health history, and talk through your goals and next steps together.

Every patient is different, so the diagnostic process is tailored to you. Depending on your needs, we may recommend lab work, genetic testing, imaging, an ultrasound, or a referral to a specialist. Our administrative team can help coordinate scheduling.

We’ll usually ask you to return in about 2–3 weeks to review results and check how you’re doing, especially if we started a care plan at your first visit.

You can schedule your follow-up visits here.
