My usual answer is to always be honest with your doctor. However, I know in my own experience that doctors are influenced by the opinions of other doctors. And that if you don't feel the prior opinions were accurate, it might be best just to start from scratch.
I did that with my current pdoc, and he discovered my cycling tendencies that were totally missed by my prior pdocs. If I had had my charts forwarded, would he have seen me afresh and discovered that? Or would he have just kept down the same disastrous road?
Will your insurance company be a problem? Will they kick up a fuss about duplicate tests?
