Talking to Your Doctor
How well you and your doctor talk to each other is one of the most important parts of getting good health care. But talking to your doctor isn’t always easy. It takes time and effort on your part as
well as your doctor’s. To prepare for your appointment, make a list of:
- Any symptoms you’ve had, including any that may seem unrelated to the reason for your appointment
▶ When did your symptoms start?
▶ How severe are your symptoms?
▶ Have the symptoms occurred before?
▶ If the symptoms have occurred before, how were they treated?
Key personal information, including any major stresses or recent life changes
All medications, vitamins, or other supplements that you’re taking, including how much and how often
Questions to ask your health provider
If you don’t have a primary doctor or are not at ease with the one you currently see, now may be the time to find a new doctor.
Whether you just moved to a new city, changed insurance providers, or had a bad experience with your doctor or medical staff, it is worthwhile to spend time finding a doctor you can trust.
