Can I bring a family member (or friend) with me to my appointment?

We often find that adult family members can provide helpful information about your current condition. This is up to you. However, we will usually offer you an opportunity to meet with the doctor alone in case there are issues that you would prefer not to discuss in the presence of your family member. Please use discretion before bringing young children into the office. We do not have childcare available in the waiting room, and often we do discuss issues that would be best not to discuss in their presence.
