As a Family Physician or a primary care doctor, I want you to think of the things you should take to your doctor's office. You will need a government issued ID like Driver's License, your social security number, insurance card, accurate telephone and cell phone numbers, and email address as it will help in getting reminders and establishing a patient portal.
Write down the questions you may have. Bring the medications you take and make a list of the medications with doses and how often you take them. You should always carry the updated medication list with you to every doctor's office and update as needed. It would not be a bad idea to write the main medical problems that you have and the list of your physicians on the same page as the medication list.
Stay healthy.
