Appointment Prep. Session

Going to the doctor can be a stressful experience, especially when you feel unprepared walking into the appointment. For those of us within the chronically ill and disabled communities it can be even more harrowing. It can be hard to know how much to share, which information is relevant, and have a clear picture of our timeline of symptoms, diagnoses, previous testing, imaging, and interventions. I will conduct a video or phone call to help you organize your thoughts and guide you through determining what to have ready to communicate at your appointment. After the session, I will provide you with a comprehensive summary of the symptomology and its timeline, medications, family history, and questions for the doctor that we discussed. Throughout the process, I will hold space for any emotions that arise and affirm your strength and capability.
