What to Expect at Your First Visit

Please arrive 15-30 mins before your scheduled appointment.
Appointments could last for several hours.

If you have not pre-registered, you will be asked to fill out your registration forms. If you faxed or emailed your forms ahead of time, we will use this time to double check for accuracy and gather any missing information. (Please bring your original copy to your appointment)

Co-payments, co-insurance and deductibles will be collected at the end of your appointment.

After registration, you will be taken to an examination room, where you will give your medical history and explain your knee injury or condition.

Next, you will be examined and consult with your physician to determine the best course of action for your knee. If you need therapy, you will work with your physician and a physical therapist or athletic trainer to develop your personal rehabilitation protocol.

(If surgery is necessary, you will be asked to schedule a return appointment accompanied by a caregiver. Your pre-operative, surgical, and post-operative procedures will be explained to you and your caregiver)
