A first visit at Arc is shorter when the right things come with you: your history, your questions and a sense of what you want to change.
What to bring, and what we do with it.
Bring your medication list, any previous records or photographs and the questions you have been saving. Your clinician reads them before the examination, so the visit is spent on the decision rather than on paperwork.
- Which records, photographs or results should I send ahead?
- How much of the first visit is conversation, and how much is examination?
- What will I take home in writing?
Put this perspective into practice.
Each guide below covers what the service involves and the questions worth bringing to your consultation.
