Prepare For An Appointment

The following information may be helpful to you in making the necessary arrangements for your appointment with the cerebrovascular team.

Records:
Please send all your medical records to our office before your visit. If this is not possible, please bring them along to your appointment. Bring the actual films of previous MRI's and/or CAT scans to the visit as well. Please do not send films in prior to your visit, unless the films are on a CD, which needs to be sent in advance due to potential technological issues opening the CD. You will receive a patient history questionnaire in the mail after you schedule the appointment. Please fill this out and bring it to your first visit.

We also request patients to bring names, addresses, and phone numbers of all health care professionals who should receive letters regarding our findings and suggestions.

What to Expect:
You should expect to spend anywhere between an hour and three hours at the Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center. We ask that you arrive 30 minutes in advance of your appointment time. You may see several team members during your visit, in addition to seeing your physician.

What Happens Next?:
After an evaluation has been performed, your physician will make a recommendation and help you decide which course of care you would like to pursue. We will inform you if additional testing is needed. We will make every effort to work in conjunction with you and your primary physician.
