First Visit

We ask that you complete your New Patient Paperwork prior to your first appointment. Additionally, we ask that you arrive 5 to10 minutes before your scheduled exam time. We understand that completing your paperwork before you visit is not always possible and that is okay! If you are unable to complete the New Patient Paperwork prior to your appointment, please arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your scheduled exam time. Please note we do not open earlier than our posted hours, so if your appointment is at 1pm for example, there is no need to arrive early at 12:45.

Your first visit allows us to connect with you and learn about specific concerns or health goals. You will receive a comprehensive exam, which might include diagnostic imaging. X-ray Studies allow us a deeper look into structural compensations your body and allows us to rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. We need time to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent as well as potential treatment options. Dr. Meadows will review the findings after your appointment to determine the best and most unique care plan to help you reach your health goals.

Lastly, we will schedule for your follow-up appointment. During your follow-up visit, Dr. Meadows will go through the examination and (if applicable) X-ray, CT, or MRI findings with you, as well as presenting a customized plan of treatment for your case. In most cases, we can arrange your follow-up for the next day.

Please allow around 45 minutes to an hour for the initial visit.
