What You Should Bring
 
Please bring the following:
  • Medical records
  • Films and reports
  • Slides and reports
  • Letters from your doctor
  • Any other materials your doctor has regarding your case or treatment
  • List of all your medications If you belong to an HMO, please bring a referral slip with you.
Appointment Length
 
The length of your appointment will vary between 30 minutes and four hours. All appointments vary due to the individual needs of the patient. For example, if you need to have blood samples drawn and evaluated in the laboratory, or if you are seeing several specialists on the same day, your appointment will last longer. Most blood work is drawn in our Cancer Clinics.
 
Patients from Out of Town
 
If you are traveling from far away, you may want to pack an overnight bag in case you are asked to return to the clinic for further evaluation on the following day. This happens infrequently.
