What Questions Should I Ask My Doctor?
A visit to the doctor doesn’t have to be scary. Preparing for your appointment beforehand can help you stay calm during your appointment. If you’re worried you’ll forget what to ask, write it down! And bring paper and a pencil to write down any answers your doctor gives you. Your doctor can also offer you additional resources, such as brochures or websites where you can seek more information, as well as organizations you can look to for support.
