ND’s have many tools to diagnose illness, but to get a full, comprehensive picture of the patient it is important for everyone to bring in recent lab reports (ie: bloodwork), and past medical files. This is both for the doctor and patient’s benefit and provides insight to effective treatment options. Be sure to arrive 15 minutes early to your visit to fill out any paperwork.
