CHOOSING A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL

When choosing a healthcare professional, you need to first evaluate your position on what you want them to accomplish. Do you want someone to simply help manage your pain with drugs or surgery or are you looking for a practitioner who aims to eliminate the root cause of your health complaint.

Following are characteristics you can consider in your evaluation.

Suggested characteristics to AVOID in a healthcare professional:

  1. Does not thoroughly investigate your body and health through blood tests and other physical studies.
  2. Is not a good listener.
  3. Is not keeping up with the most current health research.
  4. Does not have a plan to heal your body.
  5. Does not include proper nutrition and supplementation in your health plan.
  6. Relies on drugs as the primary means of treatment

Suggested POSITIVE characteristics in a healthcare professional:

  1. Is thorough in his or her investigation of your health by means of lab tests and other studies of your body.
  2. Is a good listener and shows you respect.
  3. Is keeping up with the latest health research.
  4. Has a plan to help you achieve optimal health.
  5. Helps you set goals to improve your health through nutrition, lifestyle changes and appropriate treatments.
  6. Does not rely on drugs when there are other options, showing restraint in their use. Recommends surgery only when needed.

We're concerned for your optimal health!  May you choose a doctor who can truly help you!
