You and your doctor are a team, and working closely with him or her such as asking questions, listening carefully and following his or her advice, is good for your health. Time is limited during doctor visits. Prepare for your appointment by thinking about what you want and need to discuss during your next visit.
Do you want to:
•Talk about a health problem?
•Re-perscribe or change a medicine?
•Get medical tests done and ordered?
•Talk about surgery or treatment options?
Write down questions to bring to your appointment. The questions can allow you to get the proper answers which in turn can help you make better decisions, and most importantly get the right care.
Read about some of the most recent reasons for doctor visits to the right.
