What to Wear

For your initial and follow-up appointments, we request that you come in comfortable and easy-to-move-in clothing, such as workout clothes or loose-fitting clothing.

For your first visit, please wear clothing that allows the provider to easily see the body part you are working on. For example, patients with a knee problem should wear shorts or very loose, easy-to-pull-up pants, while a patient with a shoulder problem might wear a sleeveless shirt.
