your first visit
line

The first time you visit Dimensions will probably be a long visit. The first step is to get you registered in our system.  We will work with you to find out what is the best way to have your visits be inexpensive whether or not you have insurance. After registration you would have an intake done so the staff can get to know your particular current situation and where you’re coming from, this way we can take care of your needs more effectively. After your intake you are ready to have your visit with the doctor.
