We reserve approximately one hour for your first appointment. This includes time for check-in, a thorough consultation and examination, any necessary X-rays, and your first adjustment.

We intentionally block a full hour so you never feel rushed. You’ll have time to use the restroom, settle in, or grab a complimentary snack or coffee before your appointment. Most importantly, your doctor will have plenty of time to listen to your concerns, review your health history, answer your questions, and provide thoughtful, individualized care.

Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable! Loose, stretchy clothing—such as leggings, athletic wear, or comfortable everyday clothes—can make your examination and adjustment easier. You do not need to dress up or change into a gown. If X-rays are needed, we may ask you to remove jewelry or other metal items from the area being examined.

Yes! Your first appointment includes an adjustment after your doctor completes the consultation and examination and confirms that it is safe and appropriate for you. We know you are coming to us because you want help, so whenever possible, we begin care at that first visit.

Absolutely—kids are always welcome at Thrive! We are a family-centered practice designed with real parents in mind. Your children can enjoy our indoor playhouse and kid-friendly spaces while you receive care. Babies are welcome to stay close, and you are always free to pause your appointment if they need you. Please never feel like you have to arrange childcare just to take care of yourself.

A $50 deposit is required at the time of scheduling and will be applied toward the total cost of your visit.
