I have a doctors appointment on wed with a new doctor. what is done at the first appointment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be prepared: Take as many old records (notes, imaging, labs, etc) with you as possible, to help transition your care to the new physician. Take all your pill bottles with you as well. You will undergo a history and physical exam. The more detailed and thorough you can be, the better. http://www.cfah.org/prepared-patient/communicate-with-your-doctors/getting-the-most-out-of-doctors-appointment
