Your first visit will typically include a review of your medical history, a discussion of your symptoms, and possibly a physical exam or diagnostic tests such as urinalysis or imaging. Coming prepared with a list of current medications and a description of your symptoms, including when they started, will help make the appointment as productive as possible. Dr. Mihalko will work with you to outline a clear plan following the initial evaluation.
