Doctors can help patients communicate their problems better and feel more understood by acknowledging what they're saying and encouraging them to continue, and even removing physical barriers between the two of them (i.e., not talking from behind a computer).
Why is it important for doctors to communicate effectively with the patient?
The manner in which a physician communicates information to a patient is as important as the information being communicated. Patients who understand their doctors are more likely to acknowledge health problems, understand their treatment options, modify their behavior accordingly, and follow their medication schedules.
