PREPARE FOR YOUR VISIT

Good questions.
Better conversations.

A visit reminder, not a diagnostic or triage tool. Selections reset on reload and are not sent to the practice.

I have noted when symptoms began and how they changed. I will bring my medicine and allergy list. I will mention previous clots, surgery, diabetes and smoking. I will bring previous scans and medical reports. I have written questions about tests, options and follow-up.

General education. Individual assessment and your care team’s instructions take priority. Do not wait for an online response in an emergency.
