Doctor visit checklist

Most visits are short. Preparation makes the appointment actually useful.

Quick checklist

  • Write your top 3 questions on paper.
  • Bring updated medication list + allergies.
  • Bring symptom notes (when started, what changed).
  • Confirm next steps and red flags before leaving.

Reputable links

Tip When you add links, prefer official (.gov) and major nonprofit sources first.
