Welcome!

While Dr. Emily is closing her office on November 27, she is able to still see new patients to help with acute issues. Many aches/pains can be helped with short term chiropractic care (1-4 visits). She is happy to accept new patients still, but care would only be through November 27.

If you are a new patient (or a patient considering chiropractic care/nutrition consultation), we want you to know exactly what to expect at your first visit, services provided, and payment options. Read the information below to learn more! If you still have questions, feel free to give us a call or send us a message.

Your First Visit

Our goal is to get to know each patient personally. We aim to do whatever we can to help achieve and maintain any and all personal health and wellness goals. If you want to save some time at your first visit, you can download our new patient intake forms ahead of time!

Payment Options

Many insurance plans cover chiropractic care! You can always call the number on the back of your insurance card to clarify the benefits of your particular plan. Dr. Emily is an in-network provider for the following health insurances:

Aetna
American Specialty Health (ASH)
Anthem Blue Cross
Blue Shield of California
Cigna
Optum
United Healthcare

**Note that some insurances like Kaiser Permanente and Sharp Healthcare may go through American Specialty Health for your chiropractic visits. If this is the case, Dr. Emily would be an in-network provider.

If Dr. Emily is not in-network with your insurance provider, Dr. Emily can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. 

Unfortunately TriCare does not cover chiropractic care. Because of this, Dr. Emily always offers a 15% military discount! 

For patients without insurance, Dr. Emily has cash rates available. Payment can be made via cash, check, credit card, and Apple Pay. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
