    What to expect

    Before your appointment, you will receive paperwork to fill out. Please bring any relevant health records to your appointment.

    During your first visit, your doctor will explain how joint, bone and muscle problems can occur and how rheumatology treatments and therapies are used to help. In order for your appointment to be as helpful as possible, please try to be specific about any problems you are experiencing.

    Don’t be afraid to ask questions. We are committed to a collaborative approach to your care and we want you to be as informed as possible.

    Please feel free to take notes. Keeping a record of your discussion with your doctor will help you remember important points after you leave.

    Your rheumatologist may ask you some of the following questions:

    • How long have you had symptoms?
    • Have your symptoms changed?
    • Are your symptoms better or worse during activity?
    • Which particular joints are causing your pain?
