Preparing for Your Appointment

BEFORE your appointment:

• You will receive a call and/or letter with your appointment information.  In some cases, tests may be booked prior to your appointment to provide the doctor with more information.
• Please print and fill out the patient clinic questionnaire (PDF).  A completed form is required for your first appointment. Please bring the completed form with you to your appointment.
• Write down your symptoms, including recent changes, and any questions or concerns you would like to discuss.

DAY of your appointment:

• Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time. 
• Bring your Alberta Health Care card and a piece of photo identification with you as it is required for this appointment.
• Bring a list of your current medications including any vitamins, herbal remedies, supplements, and over-the-counter drugs.  The list should include the name of the medication, the dose (amount taken) and how often you take each medication.
• Please avoid any lotions, creams or perfumes on your chest area the day of your appointment.
• If you require a translator, please bring one with you to your appointment.
• Wear a comfortable top that is easy to remove as you may be asked to change into an exam gown during your appointment to have an electrocardiogram (ECG) performed.
• Bring something to take notes during your appointment (e.g., instructions for any diagnostic tests you may be booked for, and any medication changes/new medications prescribed).
