Maximizing a Doctors Visit - The Pre- Plan

Doctors Visits can be helpful if you plan before you go. Here are some things to plan for:

• Why are you going?

• Have you completed lab work?

• Have you reviewed the lab work prior to the appointment?

• Do you understand the results? Research them!

• Finalize the List of questions that will help you learn about the results from your doctor.

• Make the most of your visit, do you have any other issues you want to discuss while you are there?

• Make a list! You will forget everything once you are in the office.

The Pre-Plan and Preparation will give you the answers and results that you need. Remember Doctors are people too, they have good days and bad. The more that you are a prepared patient the more likely you will get the results you want.
