Preparing for your visit
Make sure you know where you are located ahead of time to avoid being late to your appointment. We recommend that you arrive at least 15 minutes before every appointment to answer questionnaires that are used for every single visit. It is also good to think about your goal for seeking care and discuss this goal with your provider in your first visit.
