When preparing for your appointment with our doctors, expect to talk about your symptoms and past medical history. If you are currently taking medications, you may want to create a list that includes the dosage of each medication and the condition for which each is prescribed. This information will help your doctor form a more complete impression of your condition.
If you have had any recent biopsies, blood work or imaging studies, please obtain a copy of the studies and/or reports and bring them with you to the consultation. Some consultations lead to scheduling a procedure, you may want to bring a calendar or appointment book with you. This will enable you to schedule your procedure before you finish your initial consultation.
Make sure to bring:
• HKID card/ birth certificate (for your child)/ valid travel document
• Any radiology films, CDs or imaging studies previously performed
• Any relevant biopsy or blood test results
• A list of medications you are currently taking
• An appointment book to help you schedule your next visit
＊ If you have already joined the “Public-Private Interface – Electronic Patient Record Sharing Pilot Project” in public hospitals, our doctors will be able to view some of your medical records in our system. If you have not yet joined and would like to do so, you can submit application through our Hospital.

Patients are required to present the Pass before any procedures, such as assessment, consultation and collection of medicine. This allows our staff members to verify the identity of patients.
