103. 3 Quick Tips to Prepare For Your Next Doctor Visit


Listen Later

Most people get something very wrong about the doctor—they’re not meant for a lot of the things we try to use them for. With that in mind, let’s talk about how to get the most out of your doctor visit. 

We’re going to take a look at what you can reasonably expect from a physician during a quick, infrequent visit with them. And then I’m wrapping up with some thoughts on health insurance—what you need to know and what you can expect when searching for a provider who can help you with your vestibular disorder.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

  • What most people assume incorrectly about their primary physician
  • The No. 1 thing to avoid during a doctor visit
  • 3 tips to keep in mind for your next medical visit
  • Important information to bring & share with your PCP
  • What you need to know about health insurance & out-of-network providers
  • Since I don’t have the power to change the healthcare system, I want to help you navigate it more easily.
