New Patients
Your first visit starts with getting a clear picture of what's going on. Find everything you need to prepare for your appointment and know what to expect when you arrive.
Before Your Visit
During your first visit, we make sure to gather important background information, like your medical history, and give you time to get to know Dr. Oghoorian.
Tell Us What's Going On
We'll start with a conversation about what's bothering you, how long it's been going on, and any treatment you've already tried.
The Exam
Dr. Oghoorian will examine your foot or ankle and review any relevant records or imaging you bring along.
Your Recommendation
He'll walk you through what he sees and discuss what he recommends next, starting with the most conservative option.
What to Bring
Bringing a few key items helps us make the most of your first appointment. Check them off as you gather them.
