If time allows prior to your first visit, we will mail you our medical information forms. We would like you to complete these forms and bring them with you to your appointment. Your informational packet will include:
• Medical history form
• Registration information
• Insurance information (please bring your insurance card with you)
If you do not receive this information prior to your first visit, please plan to arrive 15 minutes early so that you may complete the forms. This information is extremely helpful to our physicians as it assists us in making a proper diagnosis.
You should also plan to have all medical records, including test results, sent to our office prior to your visit. We also would like the names and addresses of your primary care physician and any other medical professional who has cared for you recently.
In general, first time appointments require approximately up to one hour, depending on whether diagnostic tests are recommended. Occasionally, medical emergencies cause delays in appointment times; we appreciate your patience and understanding if this occurs.
Your appointment may include:
• A complete cardiac exam
• EKG
• Echocardiogram
• Stress Echocardiogram
It may be necessary for you to undress and wear a gown. Please dress appropriately. |
