What should I bring to my first orthopedic appointment?
Bring any prior imaging (X-rays, MRIs on CD or uploaded to a patient portal), a list of current medications, and your medical history. If you have been treated elsewhere, bring those records. Wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing makes the physical exam easier.
What is the difference between an orthopedic surgeon and a sports medicine doctor?
