– Don’t skimp on the paperwork! Though the intake and medical history forms can seem tedious, it’s very important to be detailed and accurate when filling them out. Your healthcare provider needs to know your health history, surgical history and any medications you might be taking to give you the correct recommendations and perform your procedure safely. If your physician offers online printable forms, take advantage of them! That way, you’re more likely to take your time and thoughtfully complete the necessary information.
– Make a checklist! Writing down all your questions before your consultation is a great way to make sure everything gets covered. Many people feel overwhelmed at the doctor’s office and there is so much info to take in, it’s easy to forget some of those important questions you wanted to discuss.
