New Patients: Your First Visit in Houston

Welcome. Whether you were referred by another physician or found us on your own, we are glad you are considering TX Spine and Joint for pain and spine care in Houston. This page explains how to schedule, what your first visit looks like, and what to bring.

How to Schedule

1. Call 832-849-0909, text 832-909-0869, email info@txspineandjoint.com, or schedule online.
2. Tell us you are a new patient and briefly describe your main concern.
3. Our staff will help you choose an appointment time and explain any forms or records we need.

If you have insurance questions, it helps to sort them out before your visit. See our Insurance page for what to have ready when you call.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

• Check-in and paperwork (or forms completed ahead of time, if we send them)
• A conversation about your symptoms, history, and goals
• A focused exam
• A clear discussion of possible next steps

Your care is led by Dr. Ankur Mehta, DO. Depending on your visit type, you may also meet other members of our clinical team who support your care. You are welcome to ask questions at any point. If something is not clear, we will explain it again in plain language.

What to Bring

• Photo ID and insurance card
• A list of your current medications
• Relevant imaging reports or discs (MRI, X-ray, or CT)
• Referral paperwork if your plan needs it

Wear comfortable clothing so the exam is easy. If we sent you forms ahead of time, filling them out at home can make check-in quicker. If another physician referred you, you can ask their office to send any recent notes or imaging reports, or simply bring copies with you.
