Patient Resources

In the Cerebrovascular Surgery and Interventions Center, we see patients of all ages — from newborns to teens to adults — and are also available for prenatal consults, second opinions, and virtual visits.

Preparing for your consultation

For the most accurate evaluation possible, please have a complete summary of your or your child’s initial diagnosis available. In addition, please gather as much of the following information as you can:

  • Patient’s full name, address, and date of birth
  • Your insurance provider (for example, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts), the name of the specific plan (for example, HMO Blue), and your subscriber identification number
  • Name, address, and phone number of the physician making the referral, if different from the primary care provider
  • List of the patient’s symptoms
  • Previous lab work reports or results
  • Any X-ray, MRI, CT scan films, or angiograms
