In preparation for your visit, we ask you to complete a questionnaire regarding your health history and that of your family. If there is time in advance of your appointment, this will be sent to you in the mail to complete at home and bring with you to your appointment. If not, then please arrive approximately 15 minutes early in order to answer these health questions. Please also bring with you a complete list of your medications, both prescription and over the counter and herbal medications. Your pharmacy phone number and fax will assist us in prescribing drugs safely and efficiently for you.
The questions regarding history and medications, and a detailed examination allow us to safely assess your needs especially in planning for a smooth and safe anesthetic and surgical procedure if necessary. It is normal for us to examine you as thoroughly as necessary to address your particular problem. This includes an overview of your entire general health and physical examination. We will respect your privacy and you will be appropriately dressed in gowns or drapes to accommodate the examination.
While we make every effort to stay on a timely schedule, situations often arise during the day when a particular patient needs additional time. We appreciate your patience and we will make every effort to be sensitive to your needs.
Again, welcome to our practice, and thank you for entrusting your care to us.
