Preparing for your Visit

Things to bring to the appointment:

  • Instructions on how to get to the office if you need it (see here)
  • Health card, personal identification.
  • Information on any other personal medical coverage plans that you have.
  • Any health records, test results, or X-rays that you’ve been asked to bring. Please bring in your sugar diary, BP diary, pain diary or headache diary if recommended at a previous visit.
  • Be sure we have an up-to-date name and phone number of who to contact in an emergency as well as your most current contact information.
  • Although we have a list of all medications you’re currently taking, please remember to report changes in or additions to prescription drugs made at any specialist visits since our last meeting and report all non-prescription medications, as well as any vitamins, supplements, herbal and homeopathic remedies you may also be taking. It is always helpful to bring in all your pill bottles for a review of how and when they are to be taken.
  • A list of other health professionals you’ve recently consulted, why you went to see them, and what they told you.
