Your Visit, Step by Step

Everything you need before, during and after your appointment at Advanced Sports & Spine, so you can walk in prepared and leave with a plan.

First visits take about an hour Same physician at every visit (704) 542-3988

Before You Arrive

Four things that make your first appointment quicker and more useful.

Complete your paperwork

Our new patient forms cover your medical history, insurance details, a records release and HIPAA consent. Filling them in at home saves you 15 to 20 minutes in the waiting room.

Gather your records

The more your physician can see, the better the plan. If you have them, bring:

  • X-rays, MRI or CT scans and their reports
  • Notes from other doctors about this problem
  • A current list of medications and doses
  • Records of physical therapy, injections or chiropractic care

Check your insurance

We verify your benefits before your visit and tell you if your plan needs a referral. Bring your insurance card and photo ID. Co-pays are due on the day.

Arrive 15 minutes early

That gives us time to check you in, confirm your insurance and finish any outstanding paperwork. If you're running late or need to reschedule, call us and we'll sort it out.

What Happens at Your First Visit

Plan on about an hour. Here's how it runs.

  1. Check in

    Our front desk confirms your details, takes your forms and verifies your coverage.

  2. Vitals and history

    A medical assistant takes your vitals and goes through your history and current symptoms.

  3. Physician evaluation

    Your physiatrist reviews your records and imaging, examines you and pinpoints the source of the pain.

  4. Your plan

    You leave with a non-surgical treatment plan, clear next steps and the same physician for every future visit.

Many procedures can be performed in our own offices, so you won't be sent to a hospital or pay a hospital facility fee.

After Your Visit

Prescriptions

Anything your physician prescribes is sent electronically straight to your pharmacy. There's no paper script to keep track of.

Billing

We bill your insurance directly. Statements and balances are available through our patient portal, and our team can answer billing questions on (704) 542-3988.

Follow-up visits

You'll see the same physician each time. Follow-ups are usually shorter than your first visit, and we can book them at whichever office suits you.
