Getting Started

• A detailed review of your current symptoms, medical history, lifestyle habits, and medications or supplements.
• A physical exam, which may include blood pressure and cholesterol checks, height and weight measurements, and a listening to your heart and lungs.
• Any necessary tests, such as blood work, urine tests, or imaging tests.

This appointment is an opportunity for you to get to know your doctor and for them to get to know you. It’s important to be honest and open about your health, so that your doctor can provide you with the best possible care.

• What are your current symptoms?
• What are your past medical conditions?
• Have you had any surgeries?
• Do you have any allergies?
• What medications are you taking?
• What supplements are you taking?
• What is your diet like?
• How much exercise do you get?
• Do you smoke or drink alcohol?
• Do you have any family history of medical conditions?

Your doctor may also ask you about your lifestyle habits, such as your diet, exercise routine, and sleep habits. These factors can all have a significant impact on your health.

It’s a good idea to come to your first appointment prepared with a list of questions for your doctor. This will help you to make the most of your time together.

• What are my risk factors for major diseases?
• What screenings do I need?
• What lifestyle changes can I make to improve my health?
• What are my options for treating any current health conditions?

Your first physician appointment is an important step in taking charge of your health. By working with your doctor, you can develop a plan to stay healthy and prevent problems down the road.
