New Patients
Welcome, New Patients
Choosing a new foot and ankle doctor is an important decision, and we are glad you are considering Family Foot & Ankle Center. Whether you have mild discomfort, persistent pain, or a condition affecting your mobility, seeking appropriate care can help you understand the problem and your options. From your first call to your first appointment, we aim to make the process clear, comfortable, and convenient.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment is about understanding you and your concerns. During your visit, our team may:
Review your history
We review your medical history and previous foot or ankle concerns.
Discuss your symptoms
We ask when your symptoms began and how they affect your daily activities.
Perform an examination
We examine the affected area and assess relevant movement or function.
Use diagnostic imaging
We may take or order diagnostic images when they are needed.
Explain our findings
We discuss possible causes and suitable treatment options.
Develop a care plan
We recommend a plan based on your condition, health, and goals.
We believe in clear, honest explanations, so you can understand your options before treatment begins. We welcome your questions and provide the information you need to make informed decisions about your care.
Forms and Insurance
To save time on the day of your visit, we encourage you to complete your new-patient forms in advance. Having your forms prepared may help the registration process run more smoothly.
Our staff can assist with general insurance and billing questions. Because benefits vary by plan, contact your insurance provider to confirm your coverage, deductible, copay, and any other expenses before your appointment. Patient forms are also available in Spanish.
Care for Every Member of the Family
We treat children, adults, athletes, and seniors, and we tailor each visit to the person in our care. For younger patients, we focus on making visits gentle and positive, while older patients receive foot and ankle care suited to their health and mobility needs. If you feel nervous about your appointment, let us know, and we will do our best to put you at ease.
Support That Continues After Your Visit
Your care does not necessarily end when your first appointment is over. Depending on your condition, we may monitor your progress, adjust treatment when appropriate, and answer questions at follow-up visits. If your condition requires regular evaluation, we explain what to watch for and what the next stage of care may involve. Our goal is to support meaningful improvement and long-term foot health rather than offer only temporary relief.

At Family Foot & Ankle Center, we take time to listen, explain our recommendations, and give you room to consider your options. Our goal is to build a lasting relationship and help you make informed decisions about your foot and ankle health.
We appreciate the trust you place in our practice. When you are ready to begin, we look forward to caring for you and your family.
