Doctor-Patient Communication

Some tips for having a better doctor-patient communication are: don’t be afraid to ask questions, ask for reliable visual aids, make sure of getting all the answers, don’t withhold information, try not to get upset with the messenger and don’t be afraid to talk about concerns, among others. Dr. Rosendo Collazo, Internal Medicine Physician with Baptist Health Primary Care, explains it’s also important to check if the medication the patient is taking is appropriate to his health condition.
