Your doctor will need as much information as possible to properly evaluate your condition. When you go to your first appointment, please bring:
- All radiological studies (CT, MRI, X-ray) pertaining to your current medical problem. Bring the actual radiological films with you, not just the medical reports.
- Prior medical records and consultations from other physicians who have evaluated your medical problem
- A complete list of all the medications (names and dosages) that you are taking
- If you have heart disease or have been hospitalized with a heart problem, a recent summary from your cardiologist or primary care provider
- Your insurance card, if applicable
- Your driver’s license or other form of photo identification, such as: employer photo badge, U.S. military card, school ID card, U.S. passport, permanent resident card (green card)
- Insurance referral from your primary care provider
- Letter of authorization from your insurance carrier, if necessary
- Completed patient questionnaires and release forms
