2. Call (323) 965-7713 or email diana@reisspt.com (fasted method) to schedule your first appointment and initial evaluation.
3. We recommend you email a photo of the front/back of your insurance card, the front of driver’s license to provide first and last name and date of birth of patient.
4. On the day of your visit, wear loose and comfortable clothes. Shorts, sweats and t-shirts will suffice, and chose a space that you can comfortably sit, lay and stand and can be seen and heard by your audio/video camera. Have any home exercise materials /equipment handy such as exercise mats, resistance bands, foam rollers, tennis balls. These are helpful but no necessary to get started. At the initial evaluation, Dr. Reiss will discuss with you what you might need.
