How to Become a New Patient

Becoming a new patient at Amherst Physical Therapy takes three steps. Call our office at (603) 672-5125 to schedule your initial evaluation. You'll then receive an email invitation to our secure patient portal, where you complete your health history and intake paperwork before you arrive. Finally, come to your evaluation appointment at our Amherst clinic with your insurance card and photo ID.

01 Schedule your evaluation

Call (603) 672-5125. Our front desk will check your insurance benefits, answer any questions about coverage or self-pay rates, and find an appointment that fits your schedule. We're open Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

02 Complete your registration online

We've gone paperless. Once your evaluation is scheduled, you'll receive a patient portal invitation by email and can complete your health information from your phone or computer at your convenience.

03 Come in for your first visit

Your initial evaluation takes approximately one hour. Your physical therapist will review the history of your injury, assess your movement and strength, and discuss your recovery goals. Depending on your injury and pain level, treatment may begin during that same visit.

What to Bring

Your insurance card

A photo ID

Any physician referral, imaging results, or surgical notes you have

Comfortable, loose clothing that allows access to the area causing pain for knee pain, for example, bring shorts or pants that pull up over the knee

Completing your portal registration ahead of time means less paperwork at the front desk and more time with your therapist.

HAVE QUESTIONS BEFORE YOUR VISIT?

We know starting physical therapy can come with a lot of questions. From what to wear and how long appointments last to insurance, referrals, and what to expect from your care, we’ve covered the things new patients ask us most.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kurt Bergeron at Amherst Physical Therapy is the most educated and experienced physical therapist that has ever treated me. He listens, understands what I do for a living and for fun, and has given me countless tips to combat future injury as well as fixing what I had damaged. I have never had issues with getting an appointment for an evaluation, and his availability for treatment appointments has been easy. He has healed me from several accidents over more than ten years and I can't recommend him highly enough.
