- Bring a list of all current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
- Inform the doctor of any allergies, especially to ophthalmic dyes like fluorescein.
- Remove contact lenses before the appointment, as they can interfere with test results.

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
