“Be an active partner with your healthcare team. Communicate and share information and all concerns, and if it does seem right to you speak up and be sure you are heard.”
“I have had the pleasure and privilege to serve as the physician to my patients for many years. It is a hard job to be a doctor and an increasingly difficult time to be a patient. I embrace not only the truly amazing change in the technical aspects of medical care but am also confident that new systems of delivery of care and the open sharing of information between doctors and their patients will help us all to achieve healthier and enriching lives.” 
“The most important things that patients can do for their own healthcare is to have their annual physical examination, make sure they understand the doctor’s advice, and follow their care plan. Many times primary care doctors only see patients when they are sick or something is wrong. Having an annual physical exam to help prevent illness is key.”
“People have heard of Consumer Reports. The Maine Health Management Coalition at www.mhmc.info is the consumer reports of healthcare, and people can use this information to make decisions.”
