See below: If you are going to see an orthopedic surgeon about a problem you are having, two considerations are to write down any questions you might have so you don't forget them at the appointment, and it can be very helpful to bring another person along as well. Make sure you have a good understanding of your condition and the treatment alternatives available to you before you leave.
