Ask the clinician to explain the proposed treatment before you decide. Use these questions for a planned consultation or procedure.
Arrange a clinician’s explanation of your results. A value outside the reference range does not, by itself, confirm a disease.
Ask for the image files and the written radiology report needed for your next appointment. Confirm that the receiving clinic can open them.
Contact a clinician immediately for increasing redness or pain, wound drainage, or fever after a procedure. Do not wait until your flight home.
Crowns and veneers change different parts of a tooth. Ask why the proposed option fits your teeth before you agree.
Agree on a practical recovery goal and a plan you can continue with your next clinician.
Confirm whether you need gastroscopy, colonoscopy or another test, and why. Preparation and recovery instructions depend on the procedure and your health.
Ask which type of anesthesia or sedation is planned. Confirm your assessment, monitoring and recovery arrangements before agreeing to treatment.
Screening looks for disease before symptoms. If you have symptoms, ask for a clinical assessment instead of relying on a screening package.
