New Patients
Your First Visit to Rimrock Podiatry
We want your first appointment to go as smoothly as possible. Here's everything you need to know to prepare.
Be Prepared
What to Bring
Having these items ready will help us make the most of your appointment time.
A valid government-issued photo identification (driver's license, state ID, or passport).
Your current insurance card (front and back). If you have secondary insurance, bring that card as well.
If your insurance requires a referral from your primary care provider, please bring the referral paperwork.
A current list of all medications, supplements, and vitamins you take, including dosages.
Any X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans related to your foot or ankle condition. CDs or digital copies are preferred.
Wear or bring shorts, loose pants, or clothing that allows easy access to your feet and ankles. Sandals or shoes that slip off easily are also helpful.
Your Appointment
What to Expect
Check-In & Paperwork
Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete registration forms. Our front desk team will collect your ID, insurance information, and any referral paperwork.
Medical History Review
Your doctor will review your medical history, current symptoms, and any previous treatments you've tried. Be prepared to describe when your symptoms started, what makes them better or worse, and how they affect your daily activities.
Physical Examination
Your board-certified surgeon will perform a thorough examination of your feet, ankles, and lower extremities. This includes evaluating your gait, range of motion, and the specific area of concern.
Diagnostic Imaging (If Needed)
If X-rays or other imaging are needed, we can often perform them on-site during your visit — no need for a separate appointment at an imaging center.
Treatment Plan
Your doctor will explain your diagnosis, discuss all available treatment options — both surgical and non-surgical — and work with you to create a plan that fits your goals and lifestyle. You will never be pressured into a treatment you're not comfortable with.
Your first appointment will typically last 30 to 45 minutes. More complex conditions may require additional time.
Insurance & Payment
