Psoriasis Podcast - Doctor-Patient Communication - No. 7

Welcome to Psoriasis Cure Now Podcast #7. This podcast tries to answer the question: how can we improve doctor-patient communication. What should a doctor be asking a psoriasis patient, and what should psoriasis patients be telling their physicians? In this podcast, we interview Laurence H. Miller, MD, a dermatologist and psoriasis expert. You will learn strategies for getting the most out of your doctor visits, and will gain insights into how a top psoriasis doctor approaches treatment of this disease.

Dr. Miller received his medical degree in Switzerland, from the prestigious University of Lausanne, and he did his residency at the NYU Medical Center/Bellevue Hospital. For many years, he worked at the U.S. National Institutes of Health in the skin diseases institute, and was chairing workshops on psoriasis at NIH as early as 1968. He was also an original advisor to the National Psoriasis Foundation and spent nearly three decades on their Medical Advisory Board. He is now in private practice in Chevy Chase, Maryland and is an Assistant Clinical Professor at the George Washington University School of Medicine. An expert in psoriasis, he is also known for his commitment to his patients.

In conjunction with the release of this podcast, Psoriasis Cure Now has launched an innovative new web tool to help psoriasis patients get more out of their doctor visits. Here's how it works. Before your next doctor appointment, you answer a few questions on our website's Psoriasis Doctor Visit Questionnaire. Then, you print out the results and take it with you to your next appointment with your dermatologist (or whoever treats your psoriasis). Check it out: it could help both you and your physician improve your health.
