Not happy with the doctor?

Every doctor should respect your dignity, your privacy, and your right to be informed at all times. If any doctor does not, feel free to ask your family doctor about the problem. Perhaps your general practitioner may be able to help resolve misunderstandings, or can refer you to a different specialist who will be better suited to you. If your family doctor falls down in this regard, it's time to find a new family doctor. Feel free to interview general practitioners to find the best fit for you. Be respectful of their time and education, but remember that they are there to help you. With patience and respect on both sides, you should have no more troubles.
