Do not be embarrassed to change doctors when the one you are currently using is not meeting all of your needs. It happens every day. Before you switch doctors, however, ask yourself if you might be the problem. Think about whether or not you can repair the doctor-patient relationship…ask yourself if it is worth it. Be assertive and proactive for yourself. You have a voice…use it!

Testimonials
Thanks so much for forwarding the post-op piece SO YOU'RE HAVING SHOULDER SURGERY; I did read your work and was highly impressed with the clarity and granularity of your overview. It seems like it is the summation of all of the valuable anecdotal advice that slips thru the cracks and is never codified or appropriately transmitted when patients are scheduled for surgery or discharged. You are performing an extremely valuable service!!!
