Doctor Visits
Be part of the Team | Keep a Notebook | List Concerns | Talk with the Doctor

List your concerns.

Between doctor visits keep track of specific concerns and questions that come up.

Then, the day before the next doctor visit, review the list and identify additional concerns that the two of you want to discuss with the provider:

• Questions from the last visit.
• New symptoms.
• Changes in function.
• Questions about medications, treatments, procedures, medical terms, or technical language.

Be sure to put your most pressing concerns first.
