YOUR FIRST VISIT
A fresh start.
At your pace.
New to a practice, new to the area or coming back after a while. You can begin with a conversation about what matters to you.
Plan your visit
You do not need to have it all worked out.
- BEFORE
Make room for your questions.
Think about what you would most like to understand. Our conversation guide is a place to begin, with no personal details to submit.
Plan your visit - TOGETHER
Start with a clear conversation.
Ask what the visit would involve, how findings would be explained and how to let the team know if you need a pause.
- NEXT
Understand before deciding.
Ask for the reasons behind a proposed plan, the alternatives and an explanation of costs. Take time to consider your questions.
A few things
worth asking.
The details of a first visit depend on the real provider. Confirm these before attending.
- What should I bring?
- Ask the provider what documents or information are needed and how to share them securely.
- How will costs be explained?
- Ask about the appointment fee and how any additional recommendations would be discussed.
- Can you accommodate my needs?
- Discuss access, communication or support needs with the provider in advance.
A little more guidance.
A first question
is enough.
You don't need to arrive with all the answers. Give your next conversation a place to begin.
