About Your Visit
Welcome to the office of Dr. Michael Yerukhim. During your first visit we'll help you get acquainted with our services and learn about your particular diagnostic and treatment needs. We know that taking time out of your day for a doctor visit can be inconvenient and even anxiety producing, but rest assured that we are here to work with you, addressing your specific needs and utilizing the most cutting edge technology to provide you with the highest quality of care. Our new, electronic medical record system allows for optimal communication with your other health care providers and our Patient Portal puts your medical information right into the palm of your hands. We know that every patient is different and has specific needs. We will strive to provide you with personal, individualized attention at each and every appointment.
We approach your health as a team effort. As such, you can make a difference in the quality of care that you or your family member receives by following a few suggestions during your appointment. It is very helpful to us when you keep an accurate medical history. Knowing the names of your doctors and the medications that you take helps us to give you the most complete care. Also, remember, it is OK to ask questions! We want to make sure that you understand how to administer all medications, understand what you or your family member's test results mean, and what to expect if the physician recommends surgical treatment for your or your family member.
Prepare for your new patient visit:
Bring your Health Insurance Card or Information
Bring a list of all medications you are taking
Bring a copy of any sleep, studies, X-RAYS or CT scans taken in the last year specific to the condition we are seeing you for (not just the reports - get the actual films on disk if possible)
Bring a copy of any medical record or test result specific to the condition we are seeing you for
Bring a family member to take notes/help with questions especially if there is a hearing loss or speech barrier or if the patient is coming from a nursing home
Bring written parental authorization if someone other than parent/legal guardian accompanies a child 0-18 years of age (see consent form below)
Bring your insurance referral (if one is required by your insurance plan)
Bring all new patient paperwork (see below) with you to your appointment to speed up the check-in process
Understand your insurance benefits and come prepared to pay your insurance co-pay and/or deductible
Leave yourself plenty of time. Don't create more stress for yourself by scheduling something else right on the heels of your new patient appointment
Patient Forms
In order to streamline your appointment, please take a few minutes to review our patient forms. Our New Patient Form should be filled out and brought with you at your first appointment. If you are arriving for a medical or cosmetic procedure, please review our various consents. We also ask that all cosmetic patients review our Photo Release Consent.
Patient Education
We know that you may receive a lot of information from Dr. Yerukhim during your appointment, and that it can be hard to remember everything that you've been told. At Dr. Yerukhim's office we try to take the confusion out of your diagnosis and treatment plan by providing you with patient education materials that can explain diagnosis and treatment information for a variety of issues. Patient education may be provided to the patient during the visit, and can also be accessed via our website or your Patient Portal. Some common patient education materials are available below.
