Patient Forms

Lipid Clinic Patient History

Hello!

Welcome to the SDACC Lipid Clinic, I am looking forward to our upcoming visit! I ask that you please take the time to fill out the questionnaire below. It could take you up to 20 minutes to complete, though I believe it will be a worthwhile investment of your time. Filling this out accurately and completely will help us more quickly zero in on the important issues during our appointment and will help focus our discussion. This will make our time together much more productive.

So, I thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the form, and I look forward to seeing you soon. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions before your visit.

Sincerely,

Richard Saxen MD
