To prepare for an appointment, please follow these guidelines:

• Confirm the date, time and location of your appointment, and the provider you will see
• Bring medical records and/or films from any other non-Carle facility
• Read over the information packet that is sent in the mail
• Bring a list of questions for your provider
• Call the Nurse Navigator with any questions

The following are some additional helpful hints:

• Be prepared to be on the Carle campus for 1 – 4 hours (wireless access for laptops and reading material are available for waiting time in between appointments, but you may bring your own; complimentary coffee and tea are available, as well as a full-service cafeteria and coffee shop)
• Bring a loved one for support
• Bring a notebook to take notes during your time with the physician
• Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that is easy to change in and out of
