Who will examine and treat me?
Ask for the clinician's name, license, qualifications, and whether their experience fits your needs. Credentials should be independently verified.

Questions worth asking before care.
Clear information helps you evaluate a clinic and participate in treatment decisions. These are general questions, not individual medical recommendations.
What should I expect during an evaluation?
Ask what information to bring, what physical tests may be performed, and how the clinician will explain findings and next steps.
Does my plan cover these visits?
Insurance networks, prior authorization, copayments, deductibles, and referral rules vary. Confirm them directly with the actual provider and insurer.
How will we know whether care is helping?
Discuss reasonable goals, your preferences, progress measures, follow-up frequency, and what would prompt re-evaluation.
