Developing a relationship

Working with your provider to develop a relationship that you both feel comfortable with is the next step. It’s important to trust your own reactions when deciding whether this doctor is the right one for you. But you also may want to give the relationship some time to develop. It takes more than one visit for you and your doctor to get to know each other. For more information on developing a relationship with a doctor, read Project Inform's publication, Doctor/Patient Relationship.
