On your first visit you can expect the doctor to listen to your problem, ask some questions about your medical history, and perform a physical examination. This process may be brief for a minor problem, or extensive for a complex ailment. Bring any medical records and X-rays that you think the doctor may need to review in order to evaluate your condition. You will be asked to list your medications and allergies. If you anticipate that your condition is serious, it is always a good idea to include a loved one in the medical discussions. After the visit, your family will want to know "what the doctor said." If additional diagnostic tests are ordered, you should expect to learn the results of those tests from our office directly, and usually from the doctor himself. You should call the office for results if you have not heard from us within a reasonable amount of time after the test has been completed. Before you see the doctor, you must complete and sign a registration form (two sides) in which you will be asked to provide personal information about yourself, your method of payment, and any health insurance coverage or Health Savings Account you may have. |
