Creating a Strong Physician-Patient Relationship

An effective patient-provider relationship is the foundation of clinical care.

 key aspect of establishing a good relationship is solid communication and listening. Dr. Elizabeth Morrison-Banks’s goal is to be a good listener and to provide information in a way that empowers patients to take charge of their own health care. As a patient, your role is to speak up and ask questions when you have them. Having open and honest communication is essential to being on the same page with your physician and being a part of your treatment plan.
