Your Appointment

Being well-prepared for your appointment will ensure that the doctor has all of the needed information to provide the best possible care for you. It also will help relieve any unnecessary anxiety you may be feeling. At your appointment, we will review your medical history, perform an exam, and discuss your treatment options. Please bring a list of your complete medical history and of all medications.

For patients under 18, a parent or guardian MUST be present. For adopted patients under the age of 18, please bring a copy of the Legal Certificate of Adoption for our records. For any patients that are unable to provide informed consent, please have your designee present and bring a copy of your Power of Attorney.

appreciated.
