Preparing for your visit or procedure.
For a clinic visit
Plan to arrive 15 minutes early to complete intake paperwork. Bring a photo ID, your insurance card, a written list of current medications and dosages, and any prior imaging, lab work, or procedure reports related to your reason for visit.
For a procedure
The office will provide specific preparation instructions in advance — diet restrictions, bowel preparation if applicable, and which medications to hold. Plan to have a responsible adult drive you home after sedation.
For a telehealth visit
You'll receive a secure link by email or text. Test your camera and microphone a few minutes before. Have your medication list, recent labs, and a list of questions ready — just as you would for an in-person visit.
