Do my records need to be translated?
Our provider, Natalia Pasumansky, DNP, speaks Russian and Hebrew as well as English, so bring records in those languages as they are. For records in other languages, a translation of the main diagnoses and medications is helpful.
Medication names abroad
The same medicine often has a different brand name in another country. Bring the packaging or write down the active ingredient, so your provider can find the US equivalent.
