What to Expect During a Clinic Visit

Exam Room

  1. A doctor or nurse practitioner will talk with you and perform the exam. A second doctor may come in to go over the most important parts of taking care of your asthma.
  2. Depending on how your asthma is doing, a nurse educator will come in to teach you about asthma and how to manage your asthma better.
  3. Another member of your health care team may come in to ask you to answer a survey or to ask your opinion about something to help improve the way we take care of teenagers with asthma. You can ALWAYS say "no" to helping us in this way.
  4. If you need shots or tests, these will usually be done right in clinic.
  5. At the end, one of the doctors or nurses will come back in to make sure you got all your questions answered, you have your prescriptions and papers, and you know when to come back.
