At your first visit, you'll have an in-office evaluation with Derek Wimmer, imaging (ultrasound or fluoroscopy) when it's needed to see the problem clearly, and a personalized, honest plan developed during the same visit. When appropriate, treatment can often begin the same day.
| Visit length | Unhurried |
|---|---|
| Imaging | Ultrasound & fluoroscopy, when needed |
| Bring | ID, meds list, prior imaging |
| Same-day care | When appropriate |
What to expect
From your first call, our goal is to make care feel personal and clear. You'll spend your full appointment with Derek — not a rotating cast — and leave understanding your options and the plan.
How to prepare
- Bring a photo ID
- Bring a list of current medications and allergies
- Bring any prior imaging or records, if available
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the affected area
- Write down your goals — what you want to get back to doing
After your evaluation
You'll receive a personalized, honest plan — including whether non-surgical or regenerative options are appropriate, what to expect, and clear next steps. We'll also discuss transparent pricing; we're a private-pay practice and accept CareCredit.
Frequently asked questions
Bring a photo ID, a list of current medications, and any relevant prior imaging (X-rays, MRI) or records if you have them. If you don't, we can often image the area in-office with ultrasound.
Longer than you may be used to. Your visit is unhurried and spent directly with Derek Wimmer so we can understand your concern and build a plan.
When clinically appropriate, many patients can begin treatment planning — or receive select treatments — during the initial visit.
