Arrive prepared
Confirm the suite number, appointment time, and whether fasting or another special preparation is required. Allow time for parking and check-in.
Protect your privacy
Do not email medical records, Social Security numbers, insurance member numbers, diagnoses, or test results to a general clinic inbox. Ask the clinic for an approved secure method when records are needed.
