Bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have one, a list of current medications, and any recent imaging reports (X-ray, MRI, CT) related to your concern. If you completed intake through the secure portal ahead of time, that is everything.

  • Photo ID — driver’s license or similar.
  • Insurance card — if you plan to use insurance. Self-pay visitors can skip this; see the payment guide.
  • Medication list — names and doses, including supplements.
  • Imaging reports — the written report matters more than the disc; bring both if you have them.
