If haven't already done so, ask her current doctor(s) to send a copy of her health records to Dr to "provide continuity of care". That last phrase taps the law which requires providers to do so free of charge in order to make sure that the new doc knows all the important stuff. Offer to pay for FedEx - it is worth it to have all that info available.
Before DW and I went for our first visits, we gathered up all of our records. I also did a summary which included a list of doctors, hospital stays, meds and allergies. Helps a lot with that first interview where they will ask for that info and means that errors in transcribing info is less likely.
