4. What should I bring to my first appointment?
- completed patient forms
- all medications you are currently taking, preferably in their bottles, with labeled prescriber and pharmacy information, please note, the actual medication bottles are ALWAYS better than a written list, you might be surprised at how many times we have identified mislabeled medications or the pharmacy putting a medication in a bottle not matching the label
- any supplements or other over the counter agents you may be taking, also preferably in their bottles
- if you have been keeping a record/log of any health parameters, such as your blood pressure, weight or blood sugar, then please bring these
- any documents, records from previous physicians, X-Rays, labs etc., that you would like for us to review and scan into your electronic chart
- a written list of any specific questions or complaints you might have, , writing down your questions for your doctor will significantly help in getting the most out of your visit
