What Qualities Do You Look for in a Healthcare Professional?
My next column will be about tips for finding a good healthcare professional. My big points are to look for someone who has at least some knowledge and experience working with SMA patients, and someone who communicates well. I can’t tell you how many doctors I’ve seen who talk to my parents and not me, and it drives me crazy. Fortunately my neurologist and pulmonologist have always been great about talking to me directly, and I thank them for that.
What about you all? What qualities do you look for in your healthcare team? Which doctors or specialists do you see the most? For me it’s my pulmonologist, neurologist and physical therapist. My primary doctor I really only see for annual checkups and when I’m sick.
