I’m a new patient, should I bring records and imaging studies from my previous health care providers?
Absolutely. Bringing records (e.g. dictations, x-ray reports & hospital records) from your previous place of residence gives us the best opportunity to provide you with quality health care. It’s also excellent advice to maintain a record of current & past medical diagnoses, past surgeries, allergies, and current medications (including vitamin supplements and over-the-counter medications).
