Start with the Basics: What to Bring
To help your visit go smoothly, come prepared with a few essentials:
A list of current medications and dosages
Any recent lab results or health documents
Your insurance card (if applicable)
Notes on any symptoms or concerns you'd like to discuss
If you're not sure what to include, don't worry — our intake form will guide you through the key details.
Think About Your Goals
Every visit is more meaningful when you know what you'd like to get out of it.
Ask yourself:
Do I want to focus on a specific issue or overall wellness?
Are there symptoms I’ve been ignoring or downplaying?
Do I need help managing stress, sleep, or energy?
This mindset shift turns a routine check-up into a real opportunity to improve your quality of life.
Know What to Expect During the Visit
At Dr. Nambani’s clinic, we make it a priority to keep things personal, not rushed.
Your visit will typically include:
A brief check-in and review of your health history
A conversation about your lifestyle, habits, and goals
Physical checks as needed (blood pressure, weight, etc.)
Optional lab work or referrals, based on your needs
You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions and feel heard.
Make the Most of Your Time
Appointments are scheduled to allow space for conversation, not just checklists. To make the most of your visit:
Be honest and open — everything is confidential
Don’t be afraid to ask questions, even if they feel minor
Take notes or ask for a summary of your care plan
Good care starts with good communication.
After Your Visit
You’ll leave with a personalized care plan and any follow-up steps, whether that’s lab work, a referral, or lifestyle recommendations. Our team is here for support, even between visits.
Closing Note
Preparing for your first appointment doesn’t need to be complicated — it just needs to be thoughtful. With a little planning, you can turn your first visit into the first step in a lasting, empowering partnership with your health.
