Preparing for Your Doctor's Visit
|
Do you make the most of your time with your doctor?
Whether you see your doctor once a year during your annual check-up or more often to manage a chronic condition, it’s a question you might want to ask yourself.
Your doctor visits are your chance to identify good health habits, change bad ones and probe your doctor’s expertise for new information that can keep you or set you on the road to healthy living.
To make the most of your limited time with your health care provider, physicians recommend making a list of topics you want – or should – discuss, including any new test results, especially if you are a new patient.
