Before you come in
Complete the new-patient forms at home if you can; it saves time at the desk. Bring any spinal images taken in the last year on a disc or by link.
New patients
Your first visit, step by step
We know a new office can be nerve-racking. Here is exactly what happens, what it costs, and what to bring. We think of our patients as part of our extended family, and we are excited to meet you.
Your first visit is $49
The $49 first visit covers the consultation, your health history, a nerve scan, a thorough exam and X-rays. The same price applies to children.
Not available for auto-accident visits, which are billed to the auto claim, or to Medicare patients under federal rules. If that is you, call or text (208) 266-7000 and the front desk will explain your options.
Two visits before your first adjustment
So the plan is built on what the doctors found, not on a guess.
Visit one: 45 to 60 minutes
Paperwork and a nerve scan with a chiropractic assistant. Then your health history, your goals, and a thorough exam with the doctor, including spinal palpation. X-rays the same day, so the doctor needs to see the structure of your spine.
Visit two: about 40 minutes
The report of findings. The doctor reviews your exam and X-ray results with you and recommends care based on them. You will then receive your first gentle, specific adjustment.
After that
A plan you understand, in the clinic's split-shift hours. Ask anything; the doctors would rather explain twice than have you guess.
What to bring
- Your completed new-patient forms (adult, child, or auto accident)
- Any recent X-rays, MRI or CT images (within a year) on a disc or by link
- A list of current medications and supplements
- For an auto accident: the claim number and the insurance details of the responsible party, if you have them
- A card, HSA or FSA card for payment at the time of service

Questions new patients ask
Do you take insurance?
We are an out-of-network, cash-pay practice. If you have out-of-network benefits you may be reimbursed by your insurance company; we supply a superbill to submit to them.
What are the payment options?
Payment is due at the time of service. We accept all major credit cards and HSA/FSA cards.
What if I have been in a car accident?
Drs. Barker and Weed are experienced in personal-injury exams and we have in-house X-ray. For an auto accident we bill your claim to the responsible party's auto insurance or med-pay. See our auto accident care page.
Are X-rays required?
The doctors like to see the internal structure of the spine in most patients. X-rays show the structures of the spine and some soft tissue, and help avoid adjusting an area that should not be adjusted. If you have had images taken elsewhere within the last year, bring them.
How long is the first appointment?
About 45 to 60 minutes. The second visit, the report of findings, is about 40 minutes.
Can I bring my child?
Yes. Dr. Barker holds a pediatric and family chiropractic certificate, and the office sees babies and children every day. There is a separate child intake form.
How to book
Book online and pick a time in the clinic's split-shift hours, or call or text (208) 266-7000 during clinic hours. For an auto accident, call first so the front desk can set up the claim.
