Preparing for your visit

As a physician, our job during your visit is to get to know you – to ask the right questions, listen actively, and make concrete, understandable suggestions for you. Your role is to give us the detailed information we need to make a decision on how best to treat you. It’s a partnership, so please be honest. If you won’t exercise, tell us. If caring for a family member is becoming too much of a burden, let us know. If you don’t understand the instructions on your medication, ask questions. Together, we can almost always come up with a solution.

We also can make the most of your visit if you’ll take a few minutes beforehand to think about your answers to the following questions.

What are you visiting for?


Is this a routine check-up?
  • If so, have you had any changes in your health or lifestyle since our last visit?
  • Do you have any symptoms you didn’t have before?
  • What are your diet, exercise and sleep habits? Any changes in these?
  • What medications do you take? (Make a list of them, or simply
  • bring all your medications with you.) Any over-the-counter medications?
  • Do you take vitamins or supplements? What kind?
Are you here because you’re ill?
  • What are your symptoms?
  • How long have you had them?
  • Do you have a fever? If so, for how long? How high is it?
  • Have you been treating the symptoms? How?
