Without your knowledge, your medical care can be both dangerous and inadequate. In the book, “Balancing the Doctor-Patient Relationship: Getting What You Need,” Dr. Oliver reveals behind-the-scenes issues that will alarm readers, unveiling many of the hazards in medicine that she has witnessed in more than 30 years of medical practice. She brings attention to some important questions including:

  • What is the most important asset for getting good medical care?
  • Have you ever felt you weren’t being heard?
  • Has your doctor ever dismissed your concerns with an “it’s-all-in-your-head” diagnosis?

If yes, then read the book, where Dr. Oliver offers practical advice and coaches people to be better patients with strategies that address significant medical concerns.

Dr. Oliver shares the best ways to uncover important information about illness, not by simply asking a doctor, but by gathering information from other credible sources, and then determining crucial next-steps. She exposes the truth about whether doctors always have the patient’s best interests at heart and empowers readers with the knowledge and tools to ensure they receive the best healthcare available.
