Important Questions to Ask Your Family Doctor

June 17, 2022

Did you just set up an appointment with your family doctor? If you haven’t visited your family doctor in a while, it can be tough to know what exact questions to ask.

Here are some of the important questions to ask your family doctor – whether you’re just getting a routine checkup or have a specific health concern.

Questions About Diagnostics and Treatment

  • What is the nature of my illness or disease? How will it affect me?
  • Why do you recommend the laboratory test or medical imaging test? What can they tell me about my condition, and are there any risks associated with it?
  • What could have caused my illness or disease? What are the risk factors that I should have been aware of?
  • How can I prevent this illness or disease from recurring or getting worse? Is the problem acute or chronic?
  • Is there a cure for my condition?
  • What are the available treatments for my illness or disease? What possible side effects do I need to anticipate? What results can I expect from the treatment?
  • Do I need to see a specialist?
  • How long will I be on this treatment or medication? How do I know I’m getting better or getting worse?
  • What will happen if I choose to delay or skip surgery altogether? Will my condition get worse or is there a nonsurgical alternative, which can improve my condition and delay surgery?
  • What complications are associated with the procedure?
  • Will the prescribed medication interact with any other medications or supplements I’m taking? (You should bring the list of all medications and supplements you are taking to your appointment.)
  • How soon or how often do you recommend I have a follow-up checkup?

Questions About Preventive Care and Maintenance

  • What screenings or tests do you recommend for someone my age/gender/risk factors?
  • What strategies can I employ to lower my risk for diabetes, hypertension, and other preventable chronic conditions?
  • What are your office hours, and how do I contact you after hours in case of an emergency?
