Discussing Your Concerns with the Doctor: Worksheet
At each visit, your doctor will likely ask about your concerns. It’s a good idea to think about what you’d like to talk about before the actual visit. This form can help you organize your thoughts. Make a copy of the blank form so you will always have a clean copy to use. Then, after you make an appointment, take a minute to write down the name of the doctor and the appointment details (for example, the date, time, and address). Use the form to make a list (in order, from most important to least important) of the concerns you want to discuss.
