Three simple steps

Your first visit is easy. Here is how it works, from start to finish.

  1. Step 1

    Request a time

    Request an appointment online, or call us at (541) 385-7129. We aim to see you within a week.

  2. Step 2

    Check in

    Come to your office with your photo ID and insurance card. Bring your new patient forms if you filled them out at home.

  3. Step 3

    See your doctor and leave with a plan

    Your doctor listens, checks your feet, and talks with you about what comes next. You leave knowing what to do.

What to bring

  • A photo ID.
  • Your insurance card.
  • A list of the medicines you take, including vitamins and supplements.
  • The shoes you wear most, including your work or running shoes.
  • Any orthotics or shoe inserts you use, and any foot X-rays you already have.

Forms

You can save time at check-in by filling out your new patient forms before you come. Bring them with you to your visit.

What happens at your visit

  1. We listen. Your doctor asks what is bothering you, when it started, and what you want to get back to.
  2. We examine your feet. We check the area that hurts and may watch how you stand and walk.
  3. We look closer if needed. Your doctor may order an X-ray or other test to learn more.
  4. You leave with a plan. You will know what to do at home and when to come back.

How long it takes

Plan for about an hour for your first visit. That leaves time to check in, fill out any forms, and talk with your doctor.

Insurance and referrals

We work with most major insurance plans, including Medicare. See the insurance plans we accept.

Some plans need a referral from your primary care provider before you see a podiatrist. Other plans do not. Check with your plan, or call us and we can help you find out.
