Walk in with the full picture. Leave knowing the next step.
General guidance to help you make the most of your visit. Not a substitute for medical advice.
A follow-up visit is where you and your doctor check how things are going since last time, so coming in with what has changed makes the time count. Here is what to prepare, what to ask, and how to keep things on track.
Before the visit, note what has changed since your last appointment, like symptoms, side effects, or how a treatment is working. Track anything you were asked to watch, and bring any readings or results.
Write down any new questions and list your current medications, including any changes. If tests were ordered last time, have the results or know where they are.
Expect your doctor to review your progress, go over any results, and adjust the plan. Lead with what has changed so the visit focuses on next steps.
Take notes as the doctor talks, record the meeting (with their permission!) in myStoria, or add a quick voice note to myStoria as soon as possible afterward so that you are not relying on memory alone.
Before you leave the clinic, ask for copies of anything from the visit, like lab results, assessments, or referrals, and upload them to myStoria to keep your history complete. (If you aren't able to get copies, connect with Concierge and we can help you source them!)
After the visit, note any changes to your plan and put the next appointment or test in your calendar. Keep tracking whatever you were asked to watch.
If something changes or gets worse before your next visit, contact your provider rather than waiting for the scheduled date.
myStoria keeps what has changed since last time, your results, and your questions in one place, so your follow-up starts where the last visit left off. Everything stays with you between visits, so a follow-up builds on the last. And when you want to talk something through, you can schedule a video consult in advance with a member of our team, several of whom are nurses.
This page offers general information to help you prepare for and follow up on your follow-up appointment. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If your symptoms change or get worse before your visit, contact your provider. myStoria video consults are scheduled in advance.
