The new year is a great time to see a doctor who supports your health goals. Whether you’re visiting a new doctor or an existing one, preparing for your appointment helps you make the most of your time and address all your health concerns. From understanding your medical history to being open about your lifestyle, a little preparation can have a big impact on your overall health. 

Dr. Mark Mueller from Kaiser Permanente’s Chase Gardens Medical Office in Eugene shares some helpful tips to make your next appointment go smoothly.

To get the most out of a doctor’s visit:

• Bring three or four questions or concerns you most want to talk about.

• Know your medical history and your family’s medical history.

• Be prepared to describe your symptoms and how you are feeling because it will help us diagnose your health issue.

• Be honest. Don’t be afraid to share important details about your lifestyle, substance use, mental health, or anything that can help your doctor provide the best care for you.
