  • The first and last name of the patient
  • The date of birth of the patient
  • The Erie location at which you’d like to receive service
  • The name of the doctor or other provider whom you have seen before (unless you don’t remember your provider’s name)
  • A telephone number where we can call you and/or text you to remind you of your appointment

Be sure to ask questions if you don’t understand something. Be honest with your provider—even about sensitive subjects. Write down instructions given to you by your provider.
