How it works
1. Reach out
Start with a brief new patient request so we can learn what you’re hoping for in care.
2. Connect
We’ll review fit, availability, financial details, and invite you to the secure patient portal where you’ll complete an intake form. This gives us more time during the initial appointment to focus on your story, your goals, and a treatment plan that feels right for you.
3. Schedule & Begin Care
Our billing team will provide you with details on estimated costs, and our scheduling team will help schedule you for your 60 minute intake appointment with Heather.
