Before you Go: Your Appointment Prep Checklist

  2. Did you prepare your health story? Bullet out the key points you want to make.

  3. Did you gather all of your health data and share it with your provider? Build a folder of all of your lab reports, clinical notes, and more, and make sure you fax or email it to your doctor prior to your appointment as well as bring a copy to your visit.

  4. Have you been tracking your symptoms? Write down your symptoms in a journal for at long as you can prior to your appointment and bring a copy with you to share with your doctor.

  5. Do you have a list of questions to ask? Think through your major concerns you want answered and bring a list to your appointment as well as a pen and paper to write down all of your doctor’s answers.
