Start with your questions

Write down what you want to discuss, when symptoms began and how they affect daily life. You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis or a chosen therapy.

Bring the complete picture

Take a list of prescriptions, supplements and herbal products, including doses where known. Bring relevant recent reports and mention allergies, pregnancy or previous reactions.

Understand the next step

Ask about the purpose, potential risks, alternatives, costs and follow-up of any proposed care. Keep your usual medical team informed and do not stop prescribed treatment without their advice.
