New Patients

Here's everything you need before your first visit — and what to expect when you get here.

Call (970) 884-2423 Request an Appointment

Step 1: Schedule

Call (970) 884-2423 or request an appointment online. You do not need a doctor's referral to see us — Colorado is a direct-access state. Some insurance plans require one for coverage, and we'll tell you if yours does.

Step 2: We verify your insurance

Before your first visit we contact your insurance company, confirm your benefits, and let you know what to expect for copays or deductibles. No surprises. Plans we accept →

Step 3: Paperwork

Please arrive about 15 minutes before your first appointment to complete your intake paperwork. If you'd rather fill it out at home, call us at (970) 884-2423 and we'll email the forms to you.

What to bring

  • Photo ID and insurance card
  • Referral or prescription, if you have one
  • Imaging reports (X-ray, MRI) and surgical notes
  • List of current medications
  • Comfortable clothing you can move in — shorts for knee/hip, a tank top for shoulder/neck

Your first visit

Plan on about an hour, all one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist. We'll talk through your history and goals, assess how you move, and start treatment the same day. You'll leave with a clear plan, your first home exercises, and a realistic timeline. More about the evaluation →

Cancellations

Please give 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule so another patient can use the time.
