Ask your doctor’s office before your visit if you can bring people with you. Policies may be in place to limit visitors at certain times, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you are able to bring a friend or relative with you to the doctor’s office, this person can act as your advocate—someone who knows you and has your best interests in mind. This person may help you remember something during or after the visit. Make sure that you are comfortable sharing private information with this person.
If you need to bring young children with you, it may help to also bring someone to take care of them while you are with your doctor. Ask your doctor’s office how many people you can bring with you.
