What to bring to a first visit
A referral if you have one, a list of your current medications, and any recent laboratory results, cultures, or imaging reports. Prior records are often the fastest route to an answer — the office can request them ahead of the appointment if you call in advance.
Not for emergencies. If you have a high fever with confusion, a rapidly spreading skin infection, difficulty breathing, or a stiff neck, call 911 or go to an emergency department.
