Appointment Scheduling
How to Prepare for Your First Appointment
We understand that patients being referred to a nephrologist can feel confused and overwhelmed. Patients with kidney disease typically do not know they have a kidney problem because they have no symptoms and generally feel well. Early stages of kidney disease can only be detected by blood and urine tests. The earlier the detection, the greater the opportunity of stopping or slowing its progression. We are here to guide you step-by-step throughout the course of your care. Here’s some ways you can prepare for your first appointment:
- Inform us prior to your visit if you have previous lab work or imaging studies from another facility.
- Review your medication list to ensure it is up to date.
- Prepare any documented charts of home blood pressure or weight.
- Complete requested patient’s forms available on our website.
- Most importantly, write down any questions you would like answered. Our providers appreciate this.
On The Day Of:
- Try to be at the office at least 15 min prior to your appointment time.
- Bring your photo identification and medical insurance information.
- Bring a method of payment. Your co-pay will be collected at the time of service.
- Bring your updated medication list or current medication bottles.
- Also remember to bring blood pressure charts if available.
What to Expect:
The examination usually includes the following:
- A medical history and physical examination.
- A review of your current and past lab results.
- A review of your medications, making changes as necessary.
- Answering your questions about your kidneys.
- Establishing goals for your kidney health.
