Get ready for any appointment: check the time and place, plan your ride, bring what you need, and check in.

How to Go to an Appointment: step-by-step guide

Every appointment uses the same plan, whatever the reason. Watch the video, then use the steps for your next one.

  1. Write the date, time, and address in your phone or calendar.

  2. Set an alarm for one hour before you need to leave.

  3. Plan how you will get there and how long the trip takes.

  4. Gather what you need, such as an ID, insurance card, or list of questions.

  5. Leave early enough to arrive about ten minutes ahead.

  6. Tell the front desk your name and who your appointment is with.

  7. Wait until someone calls you.

Helpful tips

  • Call ahead if you are running late. Most places will still see you.

Ask Iris

See it first. Go with confidence.

Hi, I'm Iris! Tell me what you're looking for: a place to preview (like "Park Library" or "a dentist office"), a specific city (like "Lansing, MI" or "Petoskey, MI"), or a how-to video (like "tying shoes" or "self-checkout"), and I'll find it for you.

Or browse all tours or the video library.
