Your First Visit

Based on your persoanlized plan, we start virtually so you can get answers and a plan quickly, then we schedule your first in-office appointment only when instructed by our clinical team.

When you are ready, schedule your first appointment. We will guide you through the steps that follow and make sure you know exactly what comes next.
