What to expect at your consultation
From your first consultation to the next step, take time to ask about anything unclear.
Listening to you and your health history
Your symptoms, existing conditions and medicines are considered together.
Examination and necessary investigations
Examination findings determine whether tests are needed; the same test list is not used for everyone.
Planning follow-up together
Clarify when to discuss results, your treatment questions and any referrals to other specialties.
Prepare before your visit
A little preparation helps you remember important details during the consultation.
First visit guide- Prepare your medicine and supplement list and previous reports.

Your questions
This information does not replace your individual examination or treatment plan.
Can I consult if I have more than one condition?
Internal medicine can help assess several health conditions together. Your doctor determines which issues need another specialist’s opinion.
Should I fast before the consultation?
Do not fast on your own initiative for a consultation. If a test is planned, ask the healthcare team about its specific preparation; do not stop your medicines yourself.
Can I choose the tests in advance?
Your symptoms and examination findings guide testing rather than a preset list. If you have previous results, ask whether repetition is necessary.
