  • Think back over what was said during the appointment. If you didn't ask all your questions, call the doctor. If the doctor prefers, set another appointment.
  • Update all your doctors about what went on if there were changes in your condition or if any drug changes were made.
  • Get and review test results. Do not rely on the doctor or his or her staff to call with the results. Make a note in your calender for the date the results should be back. If you do not hear from the doctor or his/her staff, initiate the contact yourself.
  • If you owe money to your doctor, pay it off over time instead of charging it.
