A must read for every patient and doctor

Every minute of every day, in thousands of doctor office visits, there is information people should know about their medical condition that is not being discussed. People often forget key questions to ask about their condition or sometimes don’t even know the right questions at all. Top 5 Questions to Ask Your Doctor gives you those important questions you need to ask at each visit and the book is categorized by medical condition for easy reference. These questions have been submitted and reviewed by hundreds of primary care doctors, specialists, nurses, medical students, and patients. If these simple questions are asked at the time of your visit, you will walk away knowing more and being more confident about your health care.





“Active, informed patients and families can play a key role in protecting and improving the safety and quality of their own health care. To do this well, they need coaches and good ideas about how to get involved. This book is full of useful tips to help them speak up with confidence and become the empowered participants that they can and should be.”
