Visiting the doctor is smoother when you’re prepared. Here are smart steps to take before your appointment:
- Health record checklist: Bring a current list of medications (with dosages), any allergies, and recent test results.
- Symptom notes: Jot down details—when symptoms started, what makes them better or worse, and how they impact daily life.
- Questions ready: Think of the main issues you want to address and any other concerns to make your time with the doctor count.
- Insurance & documents: Bring your ID, insurance card, and any referral paperwork or prior authorization letters.
Well-prepared patients feel more confident, communicate better, and leave the visit with a clearer plan. Let us help you make the most of your time together!
