What to Expect at Your Appointment
Check in at the front desk when you arrive for your appointment. Show your insurance card and fill out contact information and other relevant paperwork. After check-in, wait in a designated area.
A medical assistant or nurse will come to the waiting room. They’ll introduce themselves and take you back to the clinical exam area. They will verify your identity and ask you to step on a scale to determine your weight. They will escort you to your exam room, where they will gather general health information from you:
-
Symptoms and immediate needs
-
Health history and medications
-
Vital signs
One of our hepatologists or APCs will come to the exam room to meet with you, discuss your care, and review your health information:
-
Symptoms and how they affect your daily life
-
Treatments you have tried and whether they have been effective
-
Previous imaging results, if you have had images taken before your appointment
-
Previous tests you have completed for your symptoms
How Long Are Appointments?
Your appointment may last up to an hour. Some appointments may be shorter or longer depending on your needs.
