New Patients: What to Expect

Getting started is simple, and your first step can be a free conversation.

Getting Started

Three simple steps stand between you and your first conversation with Dr. Riley.

1

Book online or call to set up a consultation

Schedule directly through the secure booking link, or call (818) 859-3507 to arrange a complimentary consultation at a time that fits your schedule.

2

Talk through a complimentary consultation

Before any in-office evaluation, you can talk through your goals, daily routine, and what you hope to get out of care. The first step is a simple conversation.

3

Come in and talk through your goals

Visit Dr. Riley's Santa Barbara office for a calm, unhurried first visit. Dr. Riley takes time to listen and understand what living fully looks like for you.

Your First Visit

Your first visit is about listening first. You and Dr. Riley talk through your goals, your daily routine, and what living fully looks like for you.

From there, he completes a gentle evaluation and reviews a care plan built around you. Nothing is rushed, and everything is tailored to the person in front of him.

This is a general outline of a first visit. Dr. Riley can walk you through the exact details of your evaluation when you come in.

Phase One

Initial Intensive Care

Initial Intensive Care is more focused, more frequent care early on to restore healthy movement, improve mobility and function, and address neurological, postural and movement patterns. The goal is not to keep you coming in constantly. It is to put in the right work early.

Phase Two

Lifestyle Care

Lifestyle Care is ongoing care to stay ahead of problems and maintain progress. Monthly wellness care, with check-ins from once a month to weekly, customized to your activity level and goals.
