  • How to get the most out of a doctor's appointment
    Experts weigh in with tips on how to communicate with your doctor, make the most of time-crunched appointments and get the care you need. Advice includes bringing a list of issues to discuss with your doctor, speaking up if you don't understand what the doctor is saying, and explaining your concerns and fears.

Problem: Your doctor dismisses your concerns, but you're worried something could be wrong.
