How can i best get my doctor to honestly listen to me?

Communicate: If you dont feel your doctor sits and listens, slow him down for a second and be clear and up front. Communicate your feelings of how you might feel he/she isnt listening and ask if they can take just a couple minutes to listen. Be clear and up front and make it know what you are seeking or expecting.

Patient doc relation: If you are not being heard, choose another doctor! if you don't have a choice, perhaps write a letter in a bullet form regarding your concerns and your questions that you feel are unanswered.
