First appt. with orthopedist this week. what can i expect and what would make things easier for the doctor? list of questions/concerns/treatment ideas
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The more prepared you are for the visit i think the smoother things can go. I tend to error on getting the history and doing the examination first. I think this helps to not bias my judgement or thinking. A list of questions also allows one to remember the things you wanted to ask.
