Paperwork is a necessary part of healthcare these days. It may be a pain to fill out, but believe it or not, each page is necessary, and helps us help you.

If you are a new patient, please bring in all documentation and paperwork that you have at home that relates to your condition or problem.

This is especially true for workers compensation (work comp) cases. If you have the outcomes of benefit review conferences, contested claims hearings, designated doctor visits, required medical exams, MRI exams, EMG reports, etc., we really need this information during the consultation or initial examination, so please bring all these papers with you.

Before you visit, try to make a written list of all the symtoms you are having, and the questions you wanted to ask.

Also, make notes about things like your date of accident or injury, or how the problem started and how long you have had it. This will help speed up filling out the paperwork, and will help job your memory when Dr. Baker takes your history.

A little preparation for your visit not only speeds things along, but helps us have access to the kind of information and documentation we need.

If you have had examinations or MRIs done or other tests, try to go by and pick up a copy of these to bring with you.

These may be time consuming, but in the end, it will help your visit go smoother, be quicker, and help Dr. Baker to help you more.
