If you do not get a chance to complete the forms before your visit, please arrive at least 30 minutes before your appointment. These forms include questions about your past and current medical history, surgeries, hospitalizations, family history, current and past medications and supplements. Additional questions include lifestyle factors that could affect you health, alcohol, drug, and tobacco use, dietary, physical activity and sleep habits.
