Before you arrive
Once your visit is scheduled, our patient navigation team will reach out to confirm logistics and ask for any imaging, pathology, or prior radiation records we don't already have. If your provider has not sent records, no problem — we'll coordinate that for you.
Plan to arrive about 15 minutes early for paperwork. Parking is free at our 1308 E 900 South, Unit B location in St. George.
What to bring
- Photo ID and insurance card(s)
- List of current medications and dosages
- Names and phone numbers of your other treating physicians
- Any imaging on CD (CT, MRI, PET) and copies of pathology reports if you have them
- A notebook or your phone — you'll want to take notes
- A trusted support person, if at all possible
What happens during the appointment
Your radiation oncologist will review your history, examine you as needed, look through your imaging and pathology with you, and walk through whether adaptive radiotherapy is appropriate for your case. You'll have time to see the Gemini 360 and ask anything you want.
Plan for about an hour, though some complex cases run longer. There are no scans, no needles, and no radiation delivered at this visit — it is purely a conversation about your care.
What you'll leave with
- A clear understanding of whether adaptive radiotherapy is recommended
- An estimated number of sessions and timeline
- Information about how your insurance is expected to handle the treatment
- Written or printed summary of what was discussed
- Direct contact information for the patient navigation team
- Scheduled date for planning imaging (CT simulation), if treatment is recommended
Common questions before the first visit
Most patients ask the same handful of questions: How long will this take? Will I lose my hair? Can I keep working? Will my insurance cover it? You'll find detailed answers on /faq, and your radiation oncologist will go through each of them in person.
