How to become a New Patient

PRISM has plenty of availability! Appointments can usually be scheduled within 2-3 weeks.

Thanks so much for your interest in becoming a patient at PRISM Spine and Joint! Additional information about our practice can be found on our FAQ and Pricing pages.

Unfortunately, we are not able to accept insurance as the time and resources required detract from our ability to spend a maximum amount of time with our patients. Upon receipt of payment in full, PRISM can submit your claim for you or provide you with a detailed receipt you may use to submit to your insurer. Please see below or Pricing for further details.

If you would like an appointment for complex musculoskeletal conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, or other multi-system, immune or neurologic condition, please register here. We recommend a 110 minute appointment for these cases: PRISM New Patient Survey.

If you are seeking musculoskeletal care for injury or chronic pain in the absence of a complex neurologic, immune or connective tissue diagnosis, please complete the PRISM Sports Medicine Survey (Note that Sports Medicine is a field of medicine which denotes expertise in the spine and joints. Although the field began to address an unmet need in athletes, the word “Sports” is purely historical as these physicians are trained to treat acute and chronic pain and injury).

Upon completion of one of the surveys above, you will receive an email asking you to book your first appointment. You're also welcome to call our office (240-600-0177) and schedule with our front desk.

We can’t wait to meet you and be a part of your healing journey!
