This information series is a roadmap that will give you a good understanding for how it all works.

We’ll break down our complex healthcare system into 5 key questions. Each question is important, and the valuable

information you’ll find will help you make informed decisions.

We’ll focus on the question of “What do I need?” Once you have an accurate diagnosis, you and your doctor will need to determine the best

treatment for you. To help you make good decisions towards getting that treatment, there are some things that you should know.

Today’s doctors are flooded with new research and information about new treatment options emerging from that work.

It’s very difficult for doctors to keep up.

So how do you know the treatment you’re receiving or being recommended for is the most current and effective?

Some doctors are more up-to-date than others & you need to be involved to make sure you get the best treatment possible. Or when multiple options

are available, that you make the best decision for you. Not surprisingly...

Yet your doctor may only give you one of those options.

Treatment needs to be personalized to you in order to be effective. Family, friends, and neighbors may share stories but you need to find what works

best for your situation and needs. Find out if it’s the latest treatment option. Get involved.

A suggested treatment could be influenced by where you live. Think about this: You’re 6x more likely to get back surgery living in Santa

Barbara, California than Bronx, NY. Are people’s back that different in Santa Barbara? You need to be involved.

Understand the pros and cons of each treatment option. Find out if the treatment is the most effective available by gathering the latest information. Verifying you’re

on the right track to the best result possible will bring you peace of mind.

After all, who has the most to win or lose?

You’ll enhance your odds of a good outcome by having a good team. Look for the top ranked doctors and facilities for

your situation. It can make a big difference.

Do you know all the options to consider? The advantages? Disadvantages? Success rates? How to recognize if a treatment is working? How long should it

take? When do we change course if it isn’t working? Do your research.

Today there are so many different options so make sure you choose one that matches your values, preferences, and needs. Asking the right questions of your

doctor will help you find a treatment you feel is right for your situation.

Follow these 3 steps and you could increase your chances of a successful outcome and feel comfortable it’s the treatment best for you.
