Our Appointment Policy

Scheduling: Please schedule your appointment as far in advance as possible. This will ensure you receive an appointment time that is convenient for you. We understand that is not always possible. We will make every effort to work you in, however wait time may be longer.

Wait time: Nobody likes to wait! We attempt to get everyone in within 15 minutes of their appointment time. Unfortunately, that isn't always possible. Our staff will inform you if the wait time is extended. Being on time for your appointment is the best way to be seen quickly. Patients who arrive more than 10 minutes after their appointment will be considered walk-ins.

Walk-ins: Patients are encouraged to set appointments. Walk-ins are accepted, but please remember you will be worked in around scheduled patients and may have a long wait.

Emergencies:We understand that sometimes the onset of pain can be sudden and severe. When that happens, we are always willing to see you as soon as possible. If we are working you in around scheduled patients, we will try to keep you comfortable and get you seen as quickly as possible, but your wait time may be extended.

If your pain is unbearable, or if you think you are having a heart attack, stroke, or have lost bowel and bladder function please call your Primary Care Physician or seek treatment at the emergency room.

New Patients

Dr. Dray always accepts new patients. Your first visit will include a consultation, exam and treatment. X-Rays are taken on an as needed basis. This visit may take up to an hour.
To make your first visit easier:
  • Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to fill out paperwork.
  • Verify your chiropractic benefits with your insurance carrier.
  • Obtain a referral if required.
  • Please let the receptionist know if your injuries are due to a Motor Vehicle Accident or Worker's Compensation (on the job injury.)
  • If you have had X-Rays taken elsewhere, please bring them to your appointment.
  • Motor Vehicle Accidents or Worker's Compensation

    Motor Vehicle Accidents and Worker's Compensation claims require additional paperwork. Please allow time to fill out forms.

    Motor Vehicle Accidents:
    Please be prepared with the name of your auto insurance company, agent's name, policy number and claim number. Also, it is helpful to bring copies of records from emergency rooms, police reports, and physician visits if applicable.

    Worker's Compensation:
    If you have been injured at work, notify your supervisor immediately. It is important to follow your company's policy while seeking treatment. By state law, you are allowed to seek up to $500 of medical treatment of your choice. However you MUST follow company policy first.

    We are obligated to file any claims that are a result of an injury at work as worker's compensation. Your health insurance WILL NOT pay for injuries that occur at work.

    Filing Insurance Claims

    Dr. Dray is a provider for most local insurance companies, including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas and Medicare. If you are unsure if Dr. Dray is in your insurance network, or of your chiropractic benefits, please call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card.

    As a courtesy to our patients, we are happy to file claims to your insurance company for services rendered. To make sure we can file these claims promptly and correctly, we ask that you bring a current insurance card for us to copy.

    We cannot guarantee that by filing claims payment will be made. Individual benefits are determined by the contract between your employer and the insurance company. Please contact your insurance company or human resources department to determine your coverage. You, the patient, ultimately are responsible for payment of all services.
