Doctor
Tips 1 - Before you go to the doctor, make a list
of what you would like to discuss. The doctor is usually on
a tight schedule and the more organized you are, the more time
you'll have with him/her.

Tips 2 - It is not recommended to talk to your child in
advance about going to the doctor. It produces anxiety and fear.
Be honest with what will happen but don't focus in on the not-so-desirable
things like shots or getting undressed.

Tips 3 - Before going to visit the doctor, be sure you have
a typed page of your entire health history. It can save you
a lot of time and frustration in trying to remember everything.

Tips 4 - Ask a lot of questions and be inquisitive. Doctors
use a lot of technical jargon. Ask them kindly to explain what
they mean and to give examples. Ask them for additional literature
if necessary. They usually have many brochures in their office
that will help explain more about the condition discussed.
Doctor
Tips 5 - Go over with your child what he or she might expect
in the doctors office. Things like looking in their ears or
gently putting a small wooden stick in their mouth. This will
help prepare the child. It takes away some of the unknown and
hence takes away some of the fear.

Tips 6 - Don't be afraid to ask what the treatment will
cost. Be sure you have an understanding of what insurance will
cover and what it won't.
Doctor
Tips 7 - If you feel uncomfortable with a particular doctor,
do not hesitate to get dressed and leave. You owe them no explanation.
Ultimately you have your own best interests to look out for.
Trust your intuition!

Tips 8 - Be sure to take a shower and wash thoroughly before
visiting your doctor. This may seem obvious but you'd be surprised
how many patients I've seen that don't. - Dr. Tensthall
