Dr. Carol Robinson recommends the following websites to initiate advocating for yourself:

  • The Conversation Project: Conversation Starter Guide PDF

  • Consumer Reports 5 questions to ask your doctor:

  1. Do I really need this test or procedure?

  2. What are the risks and side effects?

  3. Are there simpler, safer options?

  4. What happens if I don't do anything?

  5. How much does it cost, and will my insurance pay for it?

  • Consumer Healthcare Association
