Choosing the right doctor: How patients can take control of their care

Professor and patient advocate Edward G. Rogoff discusses his article "How to choose the right doctor for you." In this episode, Edward explains why selecting the right physician is one of the most important health decisions a patient can make. He shares practical guidelines such as finding a doctor who specializes in your condition, evaluating service orientation and training background, and applying a "chemistry test" to assess personal connection and trust. Edward emphasizes that patients should not settle for rushed encounters or profit-driven practices but instead seek physicians who act as teachers, motivators, and true partners in care. Listeners will learn actionable strategies to reclaim agency in navigating the health care system and to secure the care they deserve.
