New Patients · Travelers Rest, SC
Are you interested in becoming a patient?
Before scheduling your first visit, we want you to understand our process, what to expect as a new patient, and how we approach your care.
Our process gives Dr. Geran time to review your information, understand what’s going on, and make sure we’re a good fit before your first visit.
Is Foothills a good fit for you?
We tend to be a good fit for people who want to get help figuring out what's going on and how to resolve it.
Foothills Chiropractic is a great fit if you want…
- A detailed evaluation before any care is recommended.
- Help understanding the process that may be contributing to the problem.
- Recommendations based on your individual findings.
- A clear explanation of what we found and why we’re recommending what we are.
- Care that looks beyond short-term symptom relief.
- A chiropractor who has multiple techniques and approaches available rather than using the same method for everyone.
HOW OUR NEW-PATIENT PROCESS WORKS
A simple five-step process before you ever set foot in the office.
- Step 1
Start Here
You complete a short contact form with your name, email, phone and the main reason you’re reaching out.
- Step 2
Complete Your Paperwork
We send the appropriate new-patient paperwork electronically for you to fill out and return.
- Step 3
Dr. Geran Reviews It
Dr. Geran reviews your completed paperwork before speaking with you so he can better understand what’s going on and what you’re looking for.
- Step 4
Brief Phone Conversation
Dr. Geran speaks with you by phone to ask a few questions, better understand what’s going on, explain what your first visit would involve, and outline what care could potentially look like if you move forward.
- Step 5
Schedule Your First Visit
If we both decide that it makes sense to move forward, we’ll schedule your first visit. New-patient visits are typically scheduled about 2–5 days out, depending on availability.
The point of the process is to make sure an evaluation makes sense for both of us before you spend time or money coming in.
Your first visit
The first visit is primarily an evaluation visit.
Depending on your history and what makes sense for you, it may include:
- Consultation
- Review of health history
- NeuroInfiniti Stress Response Evaluation
- Posture examination
- Balance and coordination
- Neurological testing if appropriate
- Palpation and spinal examination
- Other testing based on the individual
The first visit is primarily an evaluation visit. An adjustment is generally not performed at this visit because Dr. Geran wants the examination findings to guide what type of care, if any, is recommended.

What happens next
After the evaluation, you get the full picture — then decide.
After your new-patient examination, Dr. Geran takes time to review your findings and determine what he believes is the best course of action. At your follow-up visit, he’ll explain what he found, answer your questions, and—if care is appropriate—make his recommendations.
- Explanation of findings
- Recommended care approach
- Frequency and duration recommendations where appropriate
- Opportunity to ask questions
- Fees discussed before agreeing to care
- Then you decide how you’d like to proceed.
Common questions
Questions we hear often.
- How soon can I get a new-patient appointment?
- We are usually booked out several days in advance for new patient visits. The process begins with paperwork and a phone conversation, so exact timing depends on how quickly those are completed.
- What happens during my first visit?
- The first visit is primarily an evaluation visit. It may include consultation, review of health history, NeuroInfiniti evaluation, posture, balance and coordination, neurological or functional screening, and palpation/spinal examination. Not every patient receives every test.
- What happens after the evaluation?
- After the evaluation, findings are reviewed and Dr. Geran determines whether chiropractic care is appropriate and what recommendations make sense. You receive an explanation of findings, a recommended care approach, frequency/duration recommendations where appropriate, and a chance to ask questions — with fees discussed before you agree to anything.
- What if I have already seen another chiropractor?
- That’s fine. Everyone still goes through the same evaluation process so that care is based on what we actually find, not on what was done before.
- Do I have to commit to care before my first visit?
- No. The first visit is evaluation-focused. Recommendations are made afterward, and the decision is yours.
- What does the phone conversation involve?
- Dr. Geran speaks with you briefly to understand what’s going on, explain the process, answer basic questions and determine whether scheduling an evaluation makes sense. There is no obligation.
- Do you accept insurance?
- No. Foothills Chiropractic does not accept or bill health insurance. Fees are explained directly to you before any care begins.
