When you call, ask:

  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you accept my insurance, Medicaid, or a sliding fee scale?
  • Is there a waitlist — and how long?
  • What should I bring to the first appointment?
  • Do you offer telehealth if I can't get there?

Five minutes on the phone can save a wasted trip.
