I want you to feel comfortable talking openly with me and asking questions about your care. I’ll listen to what’s going on, explain your options, and make decisions with you rather than for you. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, so we’ll work together to find what makes the most sense for you.
I start by listening and getting a good understanding of what’s been going on and what you’re hoping to improve. From there, we’ll talk through your options and decide together what feels like the right next step. I want you to understand your treatment, feel comfortable asking questions, and have a say in the decisions we make.
The first visit is a chance for me to get to know you and hear what’s been going on. We’ll talk about what brought you in, your symptoms, your history, and any medications or treatments you’ve tried before. You can ask questions along the way, and we’ll talk about what makes sense moving forward.
