Getting Ready for Appointments with Your New Doctor

Ask your current doctor to send a medical summary to your new doctor.

A medical summary can be an electronic file or a piece of paper that includes your health history, treatments, medications, and other things your new doctor should know about you.

Your current doctor can also include a letter with the summary or call your new doctor.
