Whether it’s your first visit or a routine check-up, a little preparation can lead to a more effective and satisfying experience. Here are some general tips to keep in mind to ensure your appointment goes smoothly and you get the care you need.

- Provide Your Health History: Bring a summary of your symptoms, health concerns, and any relevant medical records you have.
- Know Your Family’s Medical History: Be ready to share information about any health conditions that run in your family, including those affecting parents, siblings and grandparents.
