A consultation should help you understand your options. Start with your own priorities, and leave room for questions.
Start with what matters to you.
Think about what you would like to explore, what concerns you about treatment and what you hope to understand. You do not need to arrive with a procedure already chosen.
Ask for the whole picture.
Discuss who provides the treatment, how suitability is assessed, possible risks, alternatives, recovery and follow-up. Ask for clear costs and the proposed number of visits.
Take your time.
Bring the conversation back to your goals. Ask for clarification wherever you need it before making a treatment decision.
