New Patients
What To Expect
At Your First Visit.
Plan for 45–60 minutes for your first visit — new patient intake, a clinical exam and health history, and a written care plan before you leave.
The Process
Four Steps To Your First Adjustment
1. Intake Forms
Complete new patient forms in office before your exam.
2. Insurance Verification
We verify your benefits — including Medicare and PIP claims — before your visit.
3. Exam & History
A clinical exam and health history to guide your treatment plan.
4. Care Plan Review
We walk through your plan and answer questions before beginning care.
Before You Arrive
What To Bring
A photo ID, your insurance card, and any completed intake paperwork. If you're being seen for a car accident, bring your auto insurance claim number if available. New patient forms are available to complete in office before your exam.
During Your Visit
Your Exam & Care Plan
After your intake forms are reviewed, Dr. Andersen performs a clinical exam and health history to understand your case. Before you leave, he walks you through your written care plan and answers any questions — most patients receive their first full adjustment at their second visit, once that plan is in place.
