For all appointments, it is of extreme importance that you first confirm your appointment via text, email, or a phone call the day prior and complete all the pre-visit paperwork. This will help organize your visit and keep things running on-time for you.
When you arrive, you will be asked to check-in, which you can do digitally on your phone or at the front desk. After you are checked in, you will be seen by a medical assistant to review your current medications and check your vital signs including weight/blood pressure. Please bring a list of written medications to your appointment if possible.
After this, you will be seen by Dr. Malhotra. For you first visit, Dr. Malhotra will complete a detailed history and physical exam. Your pre-visit forms will be greatly helpful in organizing this aspect of your visit. Then, Dr. Malhotra will discuss the most likely diagnosis with you and discuss the utility for further diagnostic testing if indicated and create a treatment and follow up plan with you. Plan for your first visit to take anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes depending on medical complexity.
After your visit, you will checkout at the front desk and schedule any tests/procedures/follow up visits if indicated and will be given patient education materials. Additionally, our office will help schedule any referrals if needed and send a summary of your consultation visit and any diagnostic testing to the doctors you want us to communicate with. Please bring a fax number where you want your records sent.
