Introduce your concerns
Paperwork gives the office your health background and reason for visiting. Ask the team which forms to complete and how to provide them.
Meet with the doctor
The consultation is your opportunity to describe the concern, its timing and what you hope to understand. Include care you have received elsewhere.
Work through the assessment
Your history and examination help guide the next decisions. X-rays may be considered when appropriate to the findings; they are not a requirement established by this website.
Hear the findings
A follow-up discussion explains the examination results and any recommended care. Ask about risks, alternatives and costs, along with instructions for activities at home.
