What should I bring to my first appointment?

When attending your first appointment at Westside Podiatry, it is important to come prepared to ensure a smooth and efficient visit. First, you should gather any relevant medical records, including information on past foot or ankle surgeries, injuries, and current medical conditions. If you have already been diagnosed with a foot-related issue, bringing any documentation regarding that diagnosis will be helpful as well. You should also bring a list of the medications you are currently taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs. It is advisable to include detailed information about any allergies you might have, especially to medications or materials that may be used during treatment. Additionally, remember to bring your insurance information and identification. It may also be beneficial to wear comfortable shoes and clothing that will allow easy access for examination. Lastly, prepare any questions or concerns you would like to discuss with the podiatrist. Being well-prepared will help ensure that you receive the best care possible and address your individual needs effectively.
