Making the  appointment
uIf medical records, lab results, X-rays etc.. have been sent, ask if they have arrived.
Medical records from other doctors-especially specialists plus lab results and x-rays need to be sent to your primary care doctor before the visit so complete records are available for the appointment.

Note: Several days before the appointment, phone to make sure the records have been received.  If they have not, consider rescheduling the appointment.
