Patient Checklist
Is this the first time you have visited a podiatrist? Well, don't worry. This handy guide will prepare you for your appointment and help make the most of your time with the foot and ankle expert.
Before Your Visit
- Make a list of your symptoms and questions.
- Make a list of all medications and any previous surgeries.
- Gather and bring important related medical records and laboratory test reports from other doctors or hospitals (including X-rays, MRIs, Ultrasounds and lab results) – I prefer to look at the studies before reading the report.
- Check with your Health Fund Provider to see if you have Podiatry coverage (unless you know already.)
- Call before your visit to tell the office if you have special needs.
- Bring a friend or family member if you think it will be helpful.
- If your problem involves walking and/or exercise, bring your walking/exercise shoes with you to the appointment.

During Your Visit
- Go over your list of questions.
- If you do not understand an answer, be sure to ask for further explanation.
- You can take notes and listen carefully.
- Discuss your symptoms and any recent changes you may have noticed.
- Tell your podiatrist if you are pregnant or if you are trying to get pregnant.
- Let your podiatrist know if you are being treated by other doctors for the related problem.

After Your Visit
- Prepare for any tests your podiatrist orders.
- Ask about what you need to do to get ready, possible side effects, and when you can expect results.
- Ask when and how the test results will be made available to you.
- Schedule a follow-up appointment (if necessary) before you leave your podiatrist's office.
