Remember that it is important to always tell your doctor information that relates to your health, even if it makes you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. Be prepared to explain to your doctor what issues and problems you are having. Also, bring an up-to-date “health history” list with you, along with a list of any medications you are taking, including when and how often you take them and their dosages. Bring any other health information, such as X-ray films, test results and medical records. Prepare for your appointment in advance by writing down any questions you may have for your physician. Make sure to get these questions answered when you meet with your doctor, along with any other questions that may come up during your appointment. You may even want to bring someone along to help you ask questions and remember the answers. Click here to download patient forms, then fill them out and bring them with you to your appointment.
