How to Prepare for Your First Appointment with a Rheumatologist
If you've already had blood tests or x-rays, ask the referring doctor for a copy of the lab results and get a CD with your x-rays, CT or MRI scans. It's possible that the rheumatologist will want to do their own tests, but bringing copies of what you have may prevent unnecessary duplication. You may also want to keep copies of these for your personal records.
