First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, complete our online health questionnaire and bring a list of current medications, recent lab results, and any previous weight loss records. Arrive 15 minutes early for paperwork and wear comfortable clothing for your physical examination. It's helpful to keep a food diary for a week before your visit to discuss eating patterns. During treatment, plan to attend all scheduled appointments and follow medication instructions carefully. Don't hesitate to contact our office between visits if you have questions or concerns.
