Important Booking Information
Every doctor’s visit is important, whether it’s for a routine check up, treatment, or discussing your medical test results. The time you spend with your healthcare specialists ensuring your well being is highly valuable, so please be sure to keep your scheduled appointments with your doctor.
Appointment Punctuality
Please arrive on time for your scheduled doctor’s appointment. Factor in travel time, including potential delays due to weather, traffic, or transportation. Appointments are necessary; please do not arrive without a prior booking.
Medical Records
Before your visit to your doctor, collect all relevant medical records, including past diagnoses, test results, and prescriptions, or make an appointment with your doctor to tell you about the most important tests you need to do. If you’ve been treated elsewhere, ensure these records are shared with Global Care Hospital. This will help the medical team provide accurate and timely care.
Preparing Your Documents for Your Doctor's Visit
Ensure you have everything you need for your doctor’s appointment, from forms to be filled out to your personal information and medical records. Gather these items the night before your visit.
Make sure you bring the following:
- Your eyeglasses or reading glasses: These will help you fill out forms, sign documents, or read any materials the doctor gives you, such as handouts, notes, or prescriptions.
- Your hearing aids, if you use them: Even if you only use them in specific situations, we recommend bringing them to your appointment to ensure you hear any important information from the doctor or nurses.
- Your health insurance card: This is essential for billing and processing your visit.
- Any documents the doctor may need to review: These may include X-ray images, lab results, or your medical records. If you have visited another healthcare provider since your last appointment with this doctor, please bring any notes from that visit or copies of lab results you received.
- Any information your doctor requested you to bring at your last appointment: For example, if you have diabetes, your doctor may ask you to keep a record of your blood sugar levels or a daily food log.
- Any digital data related to wearable devices: such as fitness trackers or activity monitors, whose results you wish to share with your doctor.
Interpreter Services
Should you require the assistance of an interpreter during your medical appointment, kindly contact the International Patient Department. Utilizing interpreter services ensures clear and effective communication regarding your health concerns and facilitates a complete understanding of the information provided by your physician.
We encourage you to seek immediate clarification should any aspect of your physician’s explanation be unclear.
Communication with your doctor
Don’t hesitate to ask your doctor any questions you may have and discuss all the symptoms you are experiencing. Even seemingly minor details can be crucial in helping your doctor identify potential health issues or make an accurate diagnosis. Symptoms like excessive gas, decreased libido, recurring diarrhea, or blood in the urine should be reported.
Honesty is key when communicating with your doctor. Remember, they are asking questions to help you, not to judge you.
