San Jose Orthopedic Surgeon Sets One $575 Price for a First Visit, With X-Rays Included

New patients at Resilience Orthopedics will know the full cost of their first appointment before they arrive, in time to use year-end FSA funds.

SAN JOSE, Calif., November 4, 2026 -- Resilience Orthopedics, the practice of board-certified orthopedic surgeon Dr. Pamela Mehta, is changing how it charges new patients. From November 2, a first visit costs $575. The fee covers the consultation with Dr. Mehta, any clinically necessary X-rays taken on site, regardless of the number of views, and Dr. Mehta’s review of existing scans and reports.

Patients are told the fee when they book and pay it when they arrive, with no separate charge for X-rays and no second bill at checkout. Until now, the total depended on which X-rays a patient needed, so it was only clear at the end of the visit.

Patients with health savings accounts (HSAs) or health flexible spending accounts (FSAs) are generally able to use those funds for eligible medical expenses associated with the visit, subject to account rules. Patients with unused FSA funds should check their plan’s deadline and any carryover or grace-period provisions. HSA funds roll over from year to year.

“Patients deserve to understand what their care will cost and what they are getting for their money,” said Dr. Mehta, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and founder of Resilience Orthopedics. “With one upfront price and X-rays available here in the clinic, we bring the examination, imaging, and discussion together in one visit. My aim is for each patient to understand what we have found and what the next steps are.”

On-site X-rays remove the need for a separate imaging appointment when plain X-rays are appropriate. Dr. Mehta reviews the findings with patients during their visit and discusses treatment options or further testing where needed.

For patients with insurance, the practice team sends the claim to the insurer as a courtesy, so patients with out-of-network benefits can claim back what their plan allows. Follow-up visits and any treatment, including regenerative medicine, are billed separately.
