Complete Your Medical Records and New Patient Forms
When you check in at our office, you’ll be asked to fill out and sign two forms that are important in enabling us to provide care to you:
A “Patient Medical Information Sheet”
“Patient Information and Authorizations”
These forms are also available in Adobe Acrobat for you to print and complete prior to your visit with us.

Laboratory Testing
Before you arrive for your first visit, our physicians will have reviewed the medical information sent by your referring doctor. If this information indicates the need for any lab tests, you'll go to our lab for blood draws.

Meet the Nursing Staff
The nursing staff will greet you in the waiting room and take you to the examination area in order to weigh you, take your vital signs and review the information on your medical information form.

Physician Exam and Assessment
Once you're settled in your private examination room, your physician will do a physical examination and discuss the medical findings, any further tests that may be needed and the possible treatment options. Since a cancer diagnosis also affects your family, you may choose to have a family member with you at this time.

|
Patient Education
If treatment is required, your physician may schedule a patient education visit for you with one of Summit’s oncology certified nurses. During this education visit, the staff nurse may ask you to watch a short video, and then discuss your specific treatment plan and anticipated side effects. You will then be asked to sign an informed consent document stating that have been educated about this treatment.

Checkout
The nurse will lead you to the checkout window, where you may schedule your next appointment if needed.
