Preparing for your first visit to the Fixel Institute shouldn’t be stressful.
From completing your paperwork to arriving for your appointment, we have you covered with a step-by-step guide to your visit.
After scheduling your appointment
You should receive a new patient packet in the mail with important information about your upcoming visit, what to expect and essential paperwork.
If you do not receive your patient packet within 2 weeks after confirming your new patient appointment, please call our office at 352-294-5400.
1. Log in to myUFHealth
New patients will receive instructions to log into our secure, patient portal system: MyUFHealth.
On the MyUFHealth patient portal, you can access your medical records, complete patient paperwork, view appointment notes and communicate directly with your care team.
2. Complete pre-appointment forms
Prior to your appointment, you will complete a series of forms related to your health history, medications and more.
Each clinic or service has specific forms to help your care team provide the best care and treatment possible.
3. Review pre-appointment instructions
Depending on the clinic you see during your visit, there may specific instructions about medications or patient documents related to your appointment.
Some clinics may request that you stop your medication for 12-24 hours prior to your appointment due to the nature of the evaluation.
Before your appointment
As your appointment approaches, you can prepare for your upcoming visit to the Norman Fixel Institute by following any pre-appointment instructions related to your medications and health records.
1. Complete quality of life questionnaire
Before every visit to the Norman Fixel Institute, you will receive a notification from your myUFHealth portal to complete a short, quality of life questionnaire.
Specific to your day-of visit, the form helps our care team understand how you are doing so we can provide the best care and treatment during your visit.
2. Follow pre-appointment instructions
Patients will be asked to review the pre-appointment instructions to ensure your care team can provide the best care and treatment possible during your visit.
You will be asked to bring your health records and to potentially stop your medication for 12-24 hours prior to your appointment.
3. Prepare for your visit
We want to make your visit as calming and stress-free as possible. Before you even step foot in the Norman Fixel Institute, you can take a virtual tour.
From the lobby to the patient rooms, you can get a feel for the clinic and your visit before arriving for your appointment.
