New Patients at Hoover Spine and Joint Center
Step Into a Seamless Path to Wellness
Welcome to Hoover Spine and Joint Center! We hope you’ll find the new patient process to be seamless and efficient.
Before You Arrive
To ensure your first visit is as efficient as possible, we utilize a digital onboarding system.
Digital Paperwork: We will text you a link to complete your new patient paperwork through Chirotouch.
Medical Records: If you have recent medical records you want to share, please bring those in. This includes any recent MRI results, as they are helpful for Dr. Smith’s evaluation.
Identification: We ask that you bring in your insurance card and driver’s license.
Your First Appointment
When you come in for your appointment, you’ll be greeted by name and with a friendly hello! We explain everything first because we believe a successful relationship is built on transparency—no surprises.
The purpose of your consultation with Dr. Smith is to discuss your goals and decide if chiropractic is right for your condition. Please allow 30-45 minutes for this visit, which includes:
- A thorough physical examination.
- On-site X-rays, if necessary.
- Initial discussion of your treatment plan.
The New Patient Journey
1
Consultation
We explain our process and discuss your health goals to ensure a great clinical fit.
2
Report of Findings
We review your X-rays and exam findings to outline personalized care recommendations.
3
Momentum
Subsequent visits are shorter and focused on building functional health gains.
Your Second Appointment
We’ll have you come back within 24-48 hours of your first visit for a follow-up, which is offered free of charge. Dr. Smith will outline exactly how often he wants to see you and how long your treatment will take.
Once you agree to begin care, you will receive your first chiropractic adjustment. If you have insurance coverage, we will go over exactly how it applies to your recommendations so you are aware of any out-of-pocket costs upfront.
Maintaining Your Momentum
Our goal of getting you back to work and back to your life is in motion! Subsequent visits will spend a significantly shorter amount of time in our office, as each adjustment builds upon the last. We also encourage you to explore our monthly maintenance plan once your initial care is complete—keeping your spine healthy for a lifetime, much like regular dental checkups.
