Your Doctor Wants to Know You


How to Get Better Health Care

Your guide to asking the right questions. We have all left a doctor’s office feeling like we were rushed through an appointment or later feeling like we need more information. This leaves us considering:

* Other questions that didn’t get asked
* Symptoms that didn’t get a chance to be revealed
* What we don’t understand about the diagnosis or treatment plan
* Other health conditions that may be important for the doctor to know about
* Preventive care options for avoiding health issues in the future

This guide will help you avoid these common issues and give you the tools to take charge of your health care and create a successful relationship with your doctor. It provides a list of the right questions for you to ask your doctor before, during and after your visit as well as accompanying forms for listing your symptoms, medications, and other health care providers. The guide helps you organize your thoughts and information prior to seeing your doctor so you are better prepared to communicate not only what is important to you, but also what is significant for the doctor to know in order to provide the best care for you. Initiating better communication with your physician is easy with this guide and offers the potential for better health care results.
