When choosing a doctor it is important not to be deceived only by his fame, says cardiologist Natalia Gavrilova.
According to a specialist speaking to the online publication Podmoskovye Segodnya, the wide range of services offered by a doctor should be a reason for vigilance.
Gavrilova explains that doctors themselves rarely use the Internet to find colleagues, preferring to communicate in a medical environment, and if a doctor's profile lists related specialties, this is a good sign. However, if a doctor treats completely different diseases, it should arouse suspicion, the expert believes.
A doctor may be a renowned scientist, but rarely treats patients directly, she notes.
Therefore, Gavrilova advises to pay attention to the available information about the doctor's education, as well as his attentiveness and care during the appointment, clarity of explanations about the state of health and the prescribed treatment.
Earlier, doctor Denisova named the signs of vitamin deficiency and metabolic disorders, and the expert also warned about the dangers of yogurt without sugar.
