Portal Message Template to Your Doctor
If you're looking at a report and thinking, 'What does this actually mean?', you're not alone. This guide explains **Portal Message Template to Your Doctor** in calm, plain English and gives neutral questions you can bring to your clinician. If you want a personalized explanation for your exact document, you can generate a report on the homepage.
A good portal message is short and structured
- Lead with your main question in one sentence.
- Include a 2\u20133 bullet timeline (when it started, what changed, what you tried).
- Ask for a specific next step: clarify meaning, request recheck timing, or confirm plan.
Copy/paste templates
- Template 1: 'Can you clarify what this result means for me, and whether any follow-up is needed?'
- Template 2: 'My symptoms are [X]. Since our visit on [date], they are [better/worse]. Should I do anything before our follow-up?'
- Template 3: 'Is this value mild vs significant? Would you recommend repeating the test, and if so, when?'
Keep it clinician-friendly
- Avoid long paragraphs — use bullets.
- Include medication changes and relevant context (fasting, illness, new supplements).
- If you're worried, say what you're worried about in one sentence and ask what to watch for.
