A few things: Of course you will be greeted with paperwork :) bring your insurance cards and a complete medicine list with you, and arrive early enough to complete the forms. Your medical information will be reviewed, and your feet thoroughly examined. Necessary x-rays or labs will be ordered. Your diagnosis and treatment options will be thoroughly explained to you. Any questions you have will be answered.

First a medical: History including possible allergies, past illnesses and treatments, and any drugs you are now taking. X-rays are usually taken if needed to make a proper diagnosis. Treatment may then commence.
