About Your First Visit
Before Your First Visit
The physicians, nurses and staff at Memorial Cancer Institute are on your side every step of the way in your fight against cancer, and we want your experience here to be as positive as possible.
Make the Most of Your Appointment
- Make a list of important events in your medical history and your family history of cancer and bring it with you
- Make a list of questions you have and bring it with you
- Bring your insurance card and your co-pay information
- Bring a written referral from your primary care provider or specialist, if you have one
- Bring reading materials, music or other items to keep you busy. In order to deliver the most personalized care, your first visit will likely take between two and four hours. We will always keep you informed of where you are in the visit process.
- Bring a friend or loved one along for company and support. Not only is it nice to have someone to talk to while you wait, but you’ll also receive a lot of information at once. It’s helpful having someone else to listen, take notes and ask questions.
If you have any questions or concerns before your first Memorial Cancer Institute appointment, please call us. We are here to fight your cancer, together.
Please call Memorial Cancer Institute to schedule an appointment: 954-265-4325, or email us.
