Top Five Questions to Ask Your Doctor

Asking for clarification is so important. These questions will help you to get the most information from your provider, if you’re interested in minimizing your use of medications. You’ll be able to take concise notes and gain a better understanding of the cause of your condition. You’ll also be able to make comparisons for the cost of your care.

1. What is the cause of my disease or condition, and is it reversible?
2. Will additional tests be necessary or helpful?
3. What are my options for my best treatment? Are there alternative treatments that I should know about?
4. What lifestyle changes can I make that will accelerate my improvement?
5. What is the cost of today’s visit?

 
Knowing your diagnosis and treatment options will allow you to do your own research and learn details that your provider may not have had time to explain fully. If you ask good questions, you’ll be better prepared and empowered to initiate your own healing plan.
