Preparing for an Appointment with Your Internal Medicine Provider:

Whether it’s your first visit or a routine check-up, a little preparation can lead to a more effective and satisfying experience. Here are some general tips to keep in mind to ensure your appointment goes smoothly and you get the care you need.
- Bring a List of Medications: Include all prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, supplements and dosages.
- Provide Your Health History: Bring a summary of your symptoms, health concerns, and any relevant medical records you have.
- Know Your Family’s Medical History: Be ready to share information about any health conditions that run in your family, including those affecting parents, siblings and grandparents.
- Prepare a List of Questions: Prioritize the top three questions you want to discuss. If there are additional concerns, you can schedule a follow-up visit.
- Communicate Concerns Ahead of Time: Use the patient portal to message your provider with any major concerns before your appointment.
- Take Notes: Write down or record key information and instructions from your doctor.
- Bring a Companion: Having a family member or friend with you can help you remember information, take notes and provide support.
