- When Is a Routine Family Doctor Appointment Not Enough?

Go to an appropriate emergency department for chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, signs of stroke, loss of consciousness, uncontrolled bleeding, seizures, severe allergic reaction, rapidly worsening abdominal pain or any life-threatening condition. Do not wait for the next available serial.
What Happens During a Family Medicine Consultation?
A step-by-step approach to understanding your health concerns, assessing your needs, and planning the right next steps.

Dr. Aziz asks when symptoms began and what care was tried. Diagnoses, operations, allergies, family history, pregnancy, smoking, sleep, diet and activity may be discussed.
Medicine and Report Review
Bring prescriptions, supplements, tests, imaging, discharge papers and glucose logs. Do not stop blood thinners, diabetes medicines, thyroid tablets or other prescriptions without advice.

Examination depends on the concern. Relevant tools may include a stethoscope, blood pressure monitor, thermometer, pulse oximeter, scale, height measure, glucometer, examination couch and clinical light.
Clinical Assessment and Investigation Plan
Possible tests include complete blood count, glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, kidney or liver function, TSH, urine testing or targeted imaging. These are recommended only when clinically appropriate.
Treatment, Referral and Follow-Up
The plan may include medicine, hydration, diet, activity, monitoring or prevention. Specialist referral is coordinated when needed, with clear guidance on what to monitor and when to return.
