What to Expect at Your First Consultation
A practical guide to preparing for and making the most of your first 60-minute remote consultation with Dr Kloppenburg — covering what to bring, what will be discussed, and what happens next.
In brief: Your first consultation with Dr Kloppenburg is a 60-minute remote video call. You will discuss your medical history, current diagnosis and treatment, medications, and your integrative medicine goals. Dr Kloppenburg will review your case and provide a personalised written treatment plan within a few days of the appointment.
Before Your Appointment
Preparation makes a significant difference to the quality of your first consultation. The more information Dr Kloppenburg has about your medical background, the more tailored and clinically precise her recommendations will be.
Medical records and reports
Bring any recent blood test results, imaging reports (CT, MRI, PET), pathology reports, or discharge summaries. These help Dr Kloppenburg understand your current clinical picture without needing to repeat investigations.
Medication and supplement list
Write down every medication, supplement, herbal remedy, and over-the-counter product you are currently taking, including doses. Drug-herb interaction screening is a core part of the consultation — completeness here is essential for your safety.
Treatment summary
If you are undergoing or have completed cancer treatment, bring a summary of your diagnosis, staging, and treatment history — including chemotherapy agents used, radiotherapy fields, and surgical procedures.
Your questions and priorities
Write down the questions you most want answered and the symptoms or concerns you most want to address. This ensures the consultation focuses on what matters most to you within the 60 minutes.
Technical requirements
You will need a device with a camera and microphone (laptop, tablet, or smartphone), a stable internet connection, and a quiet, private space where you can speak freely.
