Planning Your Visit

Before You Arrive

Before your visit, please bring a photo ID, your insurance card, and a current list of medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, supplements, and any recent changes. If your care team has asked you to bring outside imaging, lab results, or referral paperwork, please have those items available as well. If this is your first treatment visit, our team will review what to expect before, during, and after your appointment.

Parking and Valet

Arrival at the Barlow Building

Valet service is available at the building entrance during normal business hours, and parking is validated for United Theranostics patients. If valet is unavailable, you may still use the garage and should be able to park in the dedicated United Theranostics parking spaces, which should be clearly marked.

The building valet process is straightforward. Please follow these steps when you arrive:

1

Pull up to the valet entrance via the side street called “The Hills Plaza”

Most popular GPS maps will take you to this route by default.

2

Secure a ticket and leave your key in the vehicle

The valet team will ask you to leave your key in the ignition so that they can relocate it more easily.

3

Bring your ticket upstairs

You’ll need to bring your parking ticket with you to the clinic for validation.

4

Validate before you leave

If your visit extends beyond the validation period, pay at one of the machines outside the P3 elevator lobby using cash or a major credit card. Apple Pay is not currently accepted.
