Your first visit

Your first visit will begin with a consultation. The doctor will ask questions designed to help determine the nature and cause of your symptoms.

Next is an examination of the affected area. The doctor will determine if x-rays are needed. In most cases they are not.

After your exam, the doctor will review any notable findings with you. In most cases, treatment begins at this point.

If you wish to use your health coverage, the front desk will review your benefits to provide you with an estimate of costs. They can also provide you with payment options, including payment plans if desired.

Free Consultation

Request a free consultation

A free consultation is a simple meeting with the doctor. During the consult, ask any question you have and “test the waters”. It does not include an examination or treatment.

First, you will complete basic intake paperwork which helps the doctor understand your needs. If you bring your current insurance card the front desk will try to find out what your benefits would be as well, should you choose to continue with care.

Next, Dr. Richards will meet with you and will review your current paperwork and answer any questions you may have. You will not feel pressure to make decisions, and you will not incur any charges.

What is the benefit?

Many people struggle to find the “right chiropractor”. They want to find someone they feel good about, who they can trust, not only for themselves, but also with their family or friends. Shopping around for a good chiropractor can be a very expensive endeavor. A free consultation makes it easy.
