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.

  • 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.
