How to Prepare for a House Call Appointment with Your Doctor

Welcoming a doctor into your home is all about comfort and clarity. With a few minutes of preparation, you can ensure the consultation flows smoothly and every concern is addressed.

Checklist before the doctor arrives

  • List your symptoms in the order they appeared, noting what makes them better or worse.
  • Gather medications and supplements so your doctor can check for interactions or dosage changes.
  • Prepare recent reports such as blood tests, discharge notes, or imaging summaries.

Setting up your space

Choose a bright, ventilated room with seating for the patient and caregiver. Lay out a clean towel or table for examination tools, and keep hand-washing facilities accessible.

During the visit

  • Share any allergies, chronic conditions, or hospitalisations right away.
  • Ask about warning signs that should trigger an urgent follow-up or emergency call.
  • Clarify who to contact if you have questions about prescriptions or physiotherapy exercises.

After the consultation

MyDocSquad clinicians leave you with digital notes, follow-up reminders, and WhatsApp support. Save the hotline number and schedule your next visit before symptoms resurface.
