Episode notes
Decide Conventional Or Integrative First
- Decide first whether you want conventional standard care or an integrative approach before searching for a doctor.
- Then seek clinicians aligned with that choice so your search is focused and effective.
Prioritize Experience Over Novelties
- Ask how many years the clinician has been treating cancer patients in that integrative way.
- Prefer providers with long-term experience rather than those who've only practiced a few years.
Seek Multiple Opinions
- Get at least three opinions from qualified integrative physicians or centers before choosing one.
- Compare notes, do a gut check, and commit only when you have no major reservations.
