Preparing for Your Visit
We want every visit to our office to be as smooth and efficient as possible. A little preparation before your appointment helps us check you in quickly and make the most of your time with your provider.
Please review the steps below before you arrive.
If your provider ordered lab work (such as blood work or a urine test) or imaging (such as an ultrasound, CT, or MRI), please complete it before your appointment so your results are ready to review. If you had testing done outside our office, please make sure the results are sent to us ahead of time, or bring a copy (including any imaging discs) with you.
Set aside your photo ID and current insurance cards, along with a list of your current medications and any referral paperwork your insurance requires.
Most urology visits include a urine sample, and some include a bladder scan or ultrasound. Please drink water before your appointment and avoid emptying your bladder right before you arrive, unless you have been instructed otherwise.
Please arrive early so our front desk team can verify your information, scan your ID and insurance cards, and collect any co-pay or outstanding balance.
- Photo ID: A driver's license, state ID, or passport.
- Insurance cards: All current primary and secondary insurance cards. Please let us know about any changes to your coverage before your visit so we can verify your eligibility in advance.
- Medication list: Include prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements, with doses.
- Referral (if required): Some insurance plans require a referral from your primary care provider before you see a specialist.
- Outside records or imaging: Any lab results, imaging reports, or discs from facilities outside our office.
- Payment method: For any co-pay or balance due at the time of service.
If you're unsure whether you need labs or imaging before your visit, or if you need to change your appointment, please call our office at 540.374.3131. We're happy to help.
