Why Ask a Question?

  • Is my problem one that really needs a doctor’s appointment?
  • Maybe you don’t know who to ask or where to start getting answers.
  • Ask about troublesome symptoms, medications, and health concerns.
  • Ask about test results, tests and procedures being recommended.
  • Ask about nutrition, complimentary /adjunctive measures and other therapies that complement western medicine.
  • Your doctor may have retired and you have questions that need answering or a referral to another primary care physician or specialist.
  • You may be unable to quickly access your current doctor, unwilling to make your way through the maze of voice mails, or uncomfortable asking some of the questions you would like answers for.
  • You would like more information on your current medication (s) or medical conditions.
  • You would like to know what the early warning signs are of various medical conditions, i.e., dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s.
  • You have a history of head trauma, loss of consciousness, concussion, hyper/hypotension, cardiovascular/cerebrovascular events, exposure to toxins, drug/alcohol abuse or traumatic brain injury.

Pediatrics:

  • My child seems to have a problem knowing how to play w/other children. (He doesn’t seem to understand the rules, how to get involved in games and is sometimes intrusive or aggressive). I don’t know what to do?
  • A couple months ago, my child was knocked out (or was disoriented) for several minutes, we took him to an ER, and X-rays didn’t show anything. The doctor said he would be fine in a couple days—he just has a mild concussion.   Ever since his accident, he’s been having more trouble paying attention and remembering things, and he seems kind of “scattered”.  Could this be the result of a head injury, even though his accident was a couple months ago?
  • Do reading problems run in families?   I had a lot of trouble reading in elementary school and I’m still a very slow reader, now my son is having a lot problems in second-grade reading.   He’s very smart (he can figure out puzzles, and can solve practical problems better than my other children), but he is really struggling with trying to read.
  • My child doesn’t seem to have any commonsense, he doesn’t “get” jokes, doesn’t seem to care about rules, is very concerned that everyone follow the rules (much more than my other children) and often gets upset if we are change our routines, what is going on with him?
  • I don’t know how to control my child, he’s in the third grade and is constantly getting in trouble because he’s out of his seat, talking out of turn, or pestering other children when he should be doing his homework.  At home, he gets frustrated very easily and has “meltdowns”—then he’s sorry for what happened.
  • The school says my ten-year-old is basically OK even though he’s having a lot of trouble in school .  They say he’s very smart (he has a big vocabulary and a wonderful memory), but is just socially immature and maybe over-protected.  He seems to have more problems than being socially slow, he can’t write cursive (even has trouble printing), is very uncoordinated, and readily gets lost when trying to write an essay (seems to do a “laundry list” of facts but can’t tell a story).   He’s very empathetic and kind at home with family members, but can be very insensitive when asking questions and talking with people outside the family.
