Patient Resources
Everything you need to prepare for your visit, understand your care, and feel confident walking through our door.
New Patient Information
We’re glad you’re here. Here’s what to know before your first visit so everything goes smoothly from the start.
Referral Required
A referral from your physician or a qualified provider is required for all new patient consultations. Your referring provider should send the referral directly to our office prior to your visit — you do not need to bring it with you.
What to Bring
- Photo ID and insurance card — health insurance is required; we do not offer cash-pay services
- Copies of relevant medical records related to your pain condition, including any prior pain management notes
- A complete list of your current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements
- A list of prior treatments you’ve tried, including physical therapy, chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture, injections, or any surgeries
- Any relevant imaging or diagnostic studies (MRI, CT, X-ray) — a printed or digital report is preferred, as we are not always able to access disc or digital image files
Complete Your Paperwork Before You Arrive
Save time at check-in by downloading and completing your new patient paperwork ahead of your visit. You can submit it online or email it back to us.
Plan to arrive 15–20 minutes early if you haven’t completed your paperwork in advance.
Insurance & Billing
We accept most major insurance plans. Health insurance is required — we do not offer cash-pay services. Please call us before your appointment to confirm your specific coverage.
Plans We Accept
Prior authorizations for procedures are handled by our team. We encourage you to contact us before your procedure to verify your coverage, co-insurance, or deductible responsibilities so there are no surprises on the day of your appointment.
Preparing for Your Procedure
At your consultation, you’ll receive specific instructions for your procedure. Below are the most common things patients need to know in advance.
Follow Your Pre-Procedure Instructions
These are tailored to your specific procedure and matter for your safety and results. Common instructions include holding certain blood thinners beforehand and fasting (NPO) after midnight. Procedures may need to be rescheduled if you are currently on antibiotics or being treated for an active infection — your care team will review everything with you at your consultation.
Arrange a Driver
A driver is required for all procedures involving sedation, as well as for certain select procedures — this will be discussed with you at your clinic visit. Please arrange for a trusted friend, family member, or rideshare in advance. You will not be cleared to drive yourself home.
Bring Your Medication List
Bring a complete list of all current medications on the day of your procedure, including vitamins and supplements. This is essential for your safety and helps us confirm any necessary holds were followed correctly.
After Your Procedure
Our team will go over everything before you leave. Here’s a quick overview of what to expect when you get home.
- Your post-procedure instructions will be reviewed with you by our team before you’re discharged — take them home and keep them handy.
- Call our office if you have any questions or concerns about your recovery: (850) 559-2355.
- For emergencies: go to the nearest emergency room or call 911. Do not wait to call the office if you feel you are experiencing a medical emergency.
