Open communication with your health care provider ensures you receive the very best care. Follow these tips during your next appointment:
- Bring a list of questions or concerns to every appointment.
- Share changes to your health, including hospitalization, and visits to a specialist or the emergency room.
- Bring a list of your medications, vitamins or herbal supplements.
- If you have questions or don’t understand something discussed in your appointment, always ask your health care provider to explain it in another way.
