3. Doctors want you to go into the appointment with a purpose
It is extremely crucial that you come to your announced visit with a purpose, according to Carley Gordon, owner of Peony Health Coordination. “The best thing you can do is go in with a goal—or a few goals—and a list of questions,” she says. “Having a guiding purpose for the virtual visit is key and will keep you on track.”
Seema Sarin, MD, of EHE Health also reminds patients to “write down a list of [their] symptoms” and to have their insurance card on hand during the appointment just in case they need it. All these things happen for a reason: time is really precious when it comes to someone’s life, that’s why you should always be prepared with a clear list for your virtual appointment as your doctor will have many other patients waiting for his services.
