If you have a medical emergency, call 911 or visit your closest emergency room. For assistance in making a non-urgent appointment at any Vanderbilt facility, call Vanderbilt's Physician Referral and Appointment Service at (615) 866-3297.

How to make the most of your doctor's appointment:

• Make a list of all the medications you currently take– both prescription and over-the-counter.
• Bring copies of recent test results if they were done by a different doctor.
• At the visit, state your main problem first.
• Write down your doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan in case you forget a specific detail after you get home.
