If you haven’t had an annual checkup this year, hurry and make an appointment. And if you already had your checkup, schedule your January 2018 appointment now. Getting annual exams can often help us find problems, or potential problems, long before they start. Early intervention is the best medicine.
To make an appointment, call us at 1-800-859-0085 or email us at patient.concerns@hfmg.net.
Before your appointment
Write down a list of any questions or concerns you might have. [1] If that tennis elbow has been acting up, or you’ve noticed a change in that mole, write down your concerns. Having a list will help you remember to ask all the questions that we sometimes forget in the moment.
You can also ask us, when making your appointment, whether you’re due for any regularly scheduled screening tests depending on your age, gender, overall health, and lifestyle. For example, it may be time for a colonoscopy, or mammogram, or prostate cancer check.
At your appointment
Talk with your doctor about your concerns. And make sure you’re truthful about the medications you are—or aren’t—taking, your physical activity, etc. We’ll work together to make a plan for your very best health, but we need to have a complete picture to do that.
After your appointment
If you have any questions or concerns, or realize you forgot to talk about something at your appointment, please call back. Your health is important to us. We want to make sure you’re healthy and happy.
