Before your first visit
Four things that make the first visit easy.
Every plan starts with an ultrasound and a conversation with the physician.
- Step 01
Call the office closest to you
Our own staff answers the phone during office hours. No call center.
- Step 02
Benefits checked first
Your benefits are verified by a person before anything is scheduled.
- Step 03
Dress for the ultrasound
Wear loose clothing or shorts. Skip lotion on your legs that day. If you wear compression stockings, bring them so we can check the fit.
- Step 04
Bring your referral
Referred by your podiatrist? Bring the referral and any notes, and we send a written report back to your referring doctor.
