Preparing for an Appointment at St. Luke's

If you're seeing a provider for a new condition, a little preparation can go a long way:

• Complete any paperwork sent by your provider before your visit.
• For video visits, review our Prepare for a MyChart Video Visit guide.
• Bring your medications (or a list of them), ID, and insurance card.
• Track your symptoms in a diary—even those that seem unrelated.
• Write down your questions ahead of time and bring them with you.
• Consider bringing a support person to help take notes and ask questions.
• Ask for clear explanations of your diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis.
• Don’t hesitate to seek a second opinion if you have doubts or concerns.
• Arrive early to allow time for paperwork. We’ll keep you informed of any delays.
• Please call at least 24 hours in advance to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
