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.
