Preparing for Your Visit

A little preparation makes your visit far more productive. Here's what to bring and how to make the most of your time.

Bring these documents

  • Photo ID and Ontario Health (OHIP) card
  • List of current medications, doses, and supplements
  • Prior GI test reports (endoscopy, imaging, biopsies) if available
  • Any records from other specialists related to your concern

Come prepared to share

  • When your symptoms began and how they've changed
  • What makes symptoms better or worse
  • How they impact your daily life
  • What you're hoping to accomplish with this visit

Questions to consider asking

  • What do you think is causing my symptoms?
  • What tests — if any — are recommended and why?
  • What are the treatment options and how do we choose?
  • What can I do at home starting today?

Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete any remaining paperwork.
