At Internal Medicine, Lipids, and Wellness of Southwest Florida we encourage our patients to take an active role in their healthcare and well-being. After all, you live in your body 24/7, no one knows it like you do.
The doctor-patient relationship is a very important one. In order for it to be successful, there must be trust and open communication. As physicians, we are here for you. We care about your health and want to serve you in the very best way possible. In order to do that, we strongly feel that we must empower you to take charge actively of your own life and health concerns. We are here every step of the way to guide, assist, and lend our years of expertise so that you get the right diagnoses and the best treatments, ultimately leading you back to great health.
Choosing the right practice and the right doctor for you is vital to the quality of care you will receive. If you feel like you aren’t being listened to or just don’t mesh well with your current doctor or doctors, you may want to consider changing offices. Always trust your instinct.
When at a consultation it is important to share your feelings, symptoms, and concerns, and ask questions that you need to understand what is going on with your health. Writing down a list of both symptoms and questions can be very helpful prior to an appointment. Doing your own research can also be incredibly helpful, but make sure to confirm anything you have read with your physician, not all information available on the internet is correct.
Following consultation and testing, once a diagnosis has been found, a treatment plan will be created for you. Dr. Raymond Kordonowy or Dr. David Marconi will talk with you and make sure you understand what is needed on your end – any lifestyle changes, what medications or supplements to take and when, dietary additions or restrictions, exercise suggestions, or add on therapies he may suggest as an accompaniment treatment. The better you adhere to the suggested personalized protocol, the better the results you are likely to see and feel.
Ultimately, a doctor can only really offer advice. It’s up to you as an empowered patient to act on that advice and take your health into your own hands.
