Lung care in Tabriz for patients living outside Iran.
If you live abroad and are thinking of seeing Dr. Mahdizadeh, this page lists what to prepare and which number to call to ask about an appointment.
Documents to prepare
Gather what you already have. Clear copies and the original films are both useful, and anything you do not have can be left out.
- Chest CT or X-ray films (the CD or the images) and their written reports, old and new, so the doctor can compare them
- Spirometry results or any earlier breathing test
- A list of every medicine you take, with the inhalers and spacer themselves if you use them
- Your allergies, including any reaction to the dye used for a CT scan (contrast)
- Hospital discharge letters, if you have been admitted for breathlessness or a lung infection
- Recent blood test results, and your written asthma plan if you have one

Afterwards
Follow-up depends on what the doctor finds and is agreed with you at the visit.
The clinic address, working hours, fees, and whether a review of your documents is possible before you travel are being confirmed.
In an emergency while you are in Iran, call 115, Iran's emergency number. It is different from the international line above.

Practical questions
Can a diagnosis be made from my documents alone?
Not usually. Documents help the doctor understand your situation, but a diagnosis and a treatment plan come after an examination.
Should I stop or change my medicines before I travel?
No. Keep taking your medicines as prescribed. Do not stop a controller inhaler because you feel better, and do not reduce or stop steroid tablets without your own doctor. Bring the list with you.
Should I bring my inhalers?
Yes, the inhalers and spacer themselves, not only their names, so your technique can be checked.
What number do I call in an emergency?
115 is Iran's emergency number. It works only while you are in Iran. From abroad, use your local emergency number.
Every patient's care is different; ask your doctor about your own situation.
