Whenever possible, we encourage you to make an appointment
directly with your personal physician
or one of our clinical services.
If you don't have a personal physician please call MIT Medical's
main number, 617-253-4481, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
for help. If you require TTY service please use 617-258-0656.
If you need to cancel your appointment, call us at least
24 hours in advance so we can give the time to another patient.
Appointment Tips
MIT Medical health care providers are committed to giving
you the time and attention you need during your visits. But,
there are several things you can do to get the most out of
each appointment:
- Tell us why you're making the appointment when you schedule
it.
- Allow enough time when you schedule your appointment to
get to it without rushing.
- Prepare a list of concerns before coming to the appointment.
- Prepare a list of medications you're taking, including
non-prescription products such as vitamins and herbal remedies.
- Prepare a list of other health care providers who are
treating you.
- Keep a diary of your symptoms.
- Arrive early the day of your appointment.
- Voice your most important concerns first.
- Ask questions to make sure you understand the treatment
plan and follow-up requirements.
- Consider bringing a friend or family member for potentially
stressful visits.
- Please let us know if your contact information has changed.
Students should update their personal information in WebSIS.
