Preparing for your appointment

Our physicians look forward to maximizing their time with you to address your health concerns. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of every visit with your doctor.

  • Arrive a few minutes early. Bring your Kaiser Permanente ID card and a photo ID.
  • Check in. There are two ways to check in for appointments–at the receptionist desk, or at our self-service kiosk.
  • Bring a list of all the medications you’re currently taking, including over-the-counter medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
  • Speak up when you have questions or concerns. If you have questions, make a list and bring the list to your appointment.
  • Be patient with questions from your health care team. Different members of your health care team may ask you the same questions several times, such as what is your name or do you have allergies. Asking these questions is one way to make sure that you are getting the right care.
  • If your plan includes a cost share, it is due for payment when you check in. For your convenience, we accept payment by cash, check, American Express, Discover Card, Visa, MasterCard, or debit card (with the Visa or MasterCard logo) at the reception desk.
