F.A.Q.
Where do I park?
We have a free on site parking lot directly behind our building! The driveway is located directly before the building.
Can any chiropractor adjust pregnant people?
Any licensed chiropractor is able to adjust a pregnant body; however, there is a big difference between a general chiropractor who also works with pregnant patients and a prenatal chiropractor who only treats that population, has completed hundreds of hours of postgraduate training, and worked with thousands of families to become an expert in the field of prenatal chiropractic.
Do you take insurance?
We are an in-network provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield and are out of network with all other insurance companies. If we are out of network with your insurance, payment is due at time of service. We will submit a claim to your insurance and you will be reimbursed directly by your insurance company for any covered out of network services. If you have Blue Cross Blue Shield your copay or coinsurance is due at time of service.
If my insurance is out of network, what is the fee for each visit?
Initial Exam & Treatment: $150
Follow Up Appointments: $48
Do you accept walk-ins?
No, Dr. Abby reserves your appointment time for you and you only to allow for true patient centered care. We know you are busy and our office strives to run on time!
How early do I need to arrive for my appointment?
Right on time is just perfect! If you have not completed your new patient paperwork in advance, please arrive 10-15minutes early.
What methods of payment do you accept?
We welcome personal check, credit card, health savings accounts and cash.
What do I wear for my appointment?
Whatever you are comfortable in! Leggings or yoga pants that are easy to move around in are great, but if you forget we can work with whatever you are wearing.
Do the adjustments hurt?
No! Mamas to be look forward to their adjustments because they feel so great afterwards. Prenatal chiropractic is safe and gentle for both you and baby. We have special tables and pregnancy pillows that allow you to safely lay face down and get nice and comfortable.
Do you only work with pregnant people?
Dr. Abby is currently accepting new pregnant and infant patients only (if you worked with Dr. Abby during a previous pregnancy she will continue to see you postpartum and beyond!). We do offer care for the entire family - new patients who are not pregnant or an infant are welcome to schedule with Dr. Michael.
What is your cancellation policy?
We kindly ask for 24 hours notice when rescheduling an appointment so we can offer your appointment to a patient on our wait list. If we do not receive adequate notice you will be charged the full cost of your missed appointment (we understand emergencies happen and you will not be charged if you are dealing with a true emergency). Dr. Abby reserves your appointment time specifically for you and has a wait list, please be considerate of everyones time.
What is your inclement weather policy?
