My First Appointment

The very first step in your radiation therapy treatment journey with us will be setting up your first appointment. This first appointment will be an initial consultation, allowing us to gather your medical history and details, learn more about you and your diagnosis, and talk through what radiation treatment might look like for you. You’ll have the opportunity to meet with members of your care team, ask any questions you have, and make sure that all your concerns are addressed.

If you consent to radiation treatment following this initial visit, we’ll set up an appointment for CT imaging and simulation, develop a unique treatment plan, and create your ongoing treatment schedule. Our team will work with you every step of the way to ensure you understand your radiation treatment plan and are as comfortable as possible throughout.

What to Bring With You

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time to allow time for patient registration and intake. This allows our team to keep things running smoothly and on time. We ask that you come prepared with the following:

  • Driver’s license, military ID, or passport for photo identification
  • Other doctors’ names and phone numbers
  • Insurance cards
  • Medical records and history
  • List of current medications
  • Information and lab work from other specialists
  • Biopsy/pathology reports
  • Imaging reports and discs

Your physician will need to review your medical history and test results to provide you with the most appropriate treatment plan recommendations for your specific case. If you’re unable to bring all of the above reports/information, we’ll need to work with you to ensure it can be delivered with our team.
