New Patient Information

First time visiting Wasatch Foot & Ankle Institute? Here's what to expect, what to bring, and how to get your appointment scheduled.

What to expect at your first visit

Your first appointment starts with a conversation — your podiatrist will review your history, discuss your symptoms or concerns, and perform a focused exam of your foot or ankle. Depending on your condition, that may include a review of your gait, imaging, or a discussion of treatment options. Plan for your visit to run a bit longer than a routine follow-up so there's time for questions.

What to bring

  • A valid photo ID
  • Your current insurance card
  • A list of current medications and dosages
  • Any prior imaging, records, or referral paperwork related to your foot or ankle
  • A brief summary of your symptoms — when they started and what makes them better or worse

Before you arrive

We recommend completing your patient intake forms and your medical history form ahead of time so your appointment can start on schedule. If you're not able to finish them beforehand, just arrive a few minutes early and our front desk team will help you get set up. Returning patients can also sign in through the patient portal.

Common Questions

New patient FAQs

Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?

Most patients can schedule directly with us without a referral, though some insurance plans require one. Check with your insurance provider or call our office and we'll help confirm what your plan requires.

How long is a new patient appointment?

New patient visits typically take longer than routine follow-ups because we review your history and perform a full exam. Plan for extra time, especially if imaging or additional testing is needed.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Bring a valid photo ID, your current insurance card, a list of your current medications, and any relevant prior imaging or referral paperwork.

Can I be seen the same day for an emergency?

Yes. We hold same-day appointments for emergencies such as ingrown toenails, sprains, and breaks. Call the location nearest you to check availability.

Which location should I choose?

Choose whichever office is more convenient — our Farmington and South Ogden clinics offer the same range of care. See our locations page for addresses, hours, and directions.
