Your First Visit

When you arrive at Decatur Physical Therapy, our friendly office staff will welcome you and answer any questions you have about billing, scheduling, or insurance.

When You Get Here:

There's paperwork to fill out, so if you can arrive about 15 minutes early to get that out of the way, it will give the therapist more time to focus on your treatment. Or, print the forms under the "Patient Forms" link and you'll be in great shape!

What To Wear:

In general, wear loose, comfortable clothing. Specifically, if your treatment is for:

Neck - loose shirt with a loose collar, or you may change into a gown.
Shoulder - for women, wearing a sports bra or tank top may make it unnecessary to change into a gown.

New Patient Forms:

If you print these forms and fill them out before your appointment, you'll save time when you arrive. We know it's a lot of paperwork, but most of it is required by insurers. We actually need the rest of the information to do a good job for you!
