Fredericksburg & North Stafford, VA
New Patients
Everything you need before your first visit, from pre-registration through what to bring on the day.
Your first visit
Three steps, start to finish
Pre-register from home
About 72 hours before your appointment you will get a text or email with a link to your patient portal, where you can fill in your information at your own pace.
Arrive a few minutes early
Ten minutes early if you pre-registered, twenty if you would rather do the whole thing here on one of our iPads. Either way our staff will help.
See your podiatrist
Your doctor examines the foot or ankle that is bothering you, explains what is going on, and walks you through the options. Digital X-ray is on site if it is needed.
Before you arrive
Pre-registration with Klara
Rappahannock Foot & Ankle Specialists uses Klara to communicate securely with our patients by text message. You will receive a link with instructions for reaching your patient portal, where you can update your personal and medical information from home.
Completing it in advance keeps our records accurate and up to date, and saves both you and our staff time at check-in.
Our system lets you complete only about half of the registration at home. Please arrive 10 minutes early to finish check-in at the office.
Not able to pre-register? iPads are available in our office. Please arrive 20 minutes before your appointment.
