3. TEST RESULTS (blood work, biopsy, sleep study, MRI, CT, X-Ray, Ultrasound, PET scan…). We may not be able to get these results the day of your appointment so please get copies of these ahead of time from your primary care physician or the facility where the test was performed.
4. FILMS: In addition to the report, please bring the actual films or a disk of the imaging study for the doctor to review with you as well.
