What to expect during your first visit
1. You will fill out paperwork (Click on this link to download the 1st visit paperwork and print it off to save yourself some time at the office)
2. We will go over your paperwork
3. Education: You will get "the talk" as some of our clients refer to it lovingly. Most chiropractors don't explain anything, Dr. Pete is the opposite. We like our clients to understand what is going on and answer any question they may have so that you can make better and more informed decisions when it comes to getting adjusted.
4. You will be adjusted and then we will go over the payment options you can choose from for future visits.
5. Your first visit will take about 1 hour + or - 15 minutes. Please be patient on your first visit, as there are no appointments needed after people's first visit. As a result, new people are worked in during regular adjusting hours. It is a great opportunity to see how the office runs and it allows us to have no appointments and get new people in during times that work better for them. Everyone was new once and had to wait once, we also get to find out how patient you are. :)
How do I schedule my second visit?
You do not need an appointment after your first visit, just come in during our hours, first come, first served.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, check, credit cards, debit cards and health savings accounts (HSA). We do not accept insurance. Payment is due at time of service.
Do you take my insurance?
We do not take any insurance, however our fees are at the price of a co-pay or less for the vast majority of people so it does not matter if you do or don't have insurance. If you look at our fees and compare to other chiropractors, you will find they are incredibly affordable.
Why don't you take insurance?
There are many reasons why we do not take insurance, some are philosophical in nature others are more practical. The main reason we do not take insurance is because it helps us keep the costs down so we can offer options that allow people to get adjusted on a more regular basis if they choose. By not taking insurance, it is just less complicated and lets us focus on the care of the client over additional paperwork to justify a visit to a third party insurance provider. There are no surprises for the client in the mail with a bill insurance didn't cover, etc.
Do you deal with workman's compensation or automobile claims?
No, we do not deal with workman's compensation or automobile claims, becaus we do not take insurance. If you come to us and you have been involved in an automobile accident or work accident and there is any chance you might be planning on filing a claim, we will recommend a couple chiropractors in town who deal with insurance that Dr. Pete trusts. It is best to go with a chiropractor that is very familiar with the insurance world in these types of situations. When people are done dealing with their workman's compensation or automobile claim situations they are welcome back at our offices.
