In order to ensure the highest quality of care, in a timely fashion, it is important that we have all of your medical information at the time of your initial visit. For your initial visit, we ask you to bring any documentation pertaining to tests/procedures you have had done. We also ask that you fax all reports and send all radiology images to our office prior to the appointment. Providing all the medical information prior to your visit will make your visit more comprehensive. Listed below are tests/procedures you may have had.

RADIOLOGY FILMS AND REPORTS: The physicians will require all films and reports prior to your appointment. Please provide any tests you have had i.e.: mammogram, sonogram, MRI. Please ensure that all films, for both sides of your breast, be sent even if only one side is affected. Your surgeon needs both the films and corresponding reports to provide a complete evaluation to provide an appropriate assessment and plan. Official radiology reports can usually be provided to you by the ordering physician’s office. We will have to reschedule visits when films and reports are not available for the doctor’s review.

ADDRESSES: Please bring complete addresses, phone numbers and fax numbers for any of your doctors who you would like reports sent.

PATHOLOGY REPORTS: If you have had a biopsy at another institution, please have that report sent our office.

PATHOLOGY SLIDES: If there is going to potentially be treatment and your pathology slides are at another institution, they will want them to be reviewed by our pathologist here at Mount Sinai. Please obtain them from the hospital where your biopsy was performed. Call the Pathology Department of that hospital to arrange to personally pick them up or if it is more convenient, you can request that the hospital send your slides to our office.

OPERATIVE REPORTS: If you have had breast surgery recently with another surgeon please call that office and request a copy of the operative report to be sent to us.

INSURANCE REFERRALS: Please check with your insurance carrier to find out if your plan requires a referral from your primary care physician. This information can be found on your insurance card. If a referral is not present at the time of the appointment, it will be the patient’s responsibility for services rendered and/or you may be rescheduled.

Having this information available for review at the time of your visit will allow our physicians to provide you with the highest quality of care. If there are studies or results you cannot provide for the visit, we recommend you reschedule your appointment to a time when you will be able to provide everything.

Should you have any further questions regarding what to bring please call our offices at the number listed above.
