Preparing For Your Visit

If you're coming for a medical appointment: Call 702.483.6000 or go online to request an appointment at clevelandclinic.org/brainhealth

When you call us to schedule an appointment, please have the following information available about the patient:

• Name
• Date of birth
• Social security number
• Insurance cards
• What the patient is coming in for, if they've been diagnosed previously, and the name of the referring physician (if any)

After the call, we will mail you a confirmation of your appointment. When you come for your appointment please bring the patient's:

• ID
• Insurance cards
• Medications (all of them, not just those related to disease condition being treated) or a detailed list including names and dosages
• Previous MRIs on CD or other radiology images you have available
• Medical records
• A medical power of attorney (if applicable)

At the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, we embrace a team approach to patient care, where initial neurology visits are conducted by a physician and follow-up visits by each physician's partner, a nurse practitioner. Nurse practitioners have more time to devote to your personal needs and are in close daily contact with your physician. This team approach provides the most intimate patient care while maximizing physician availability for all patients.

You'll also find that, as a part of the patient experience, we respect your privacy and your time. As part of the better patient and family experience, we invite returning patients to sign up for MyChart and to complete all patient forms online, prior to your appointment. All records are stored in our secure, confidential patient records system.
