The PTCH Podcast
How do you actually know if a healthcare provider can help you β before you've wasted six visits and hundreds of dollars? Google reviews won't tell you. Your neighbor's referral won't tell you. Even their credentials won't tell you.In this episode, Dr. Jason Young (chiropractor) and Dr. Kathy Lynch (physical therapist) break down exactly how to evaluate any provider β PT, chiropractor, orthopedist, massage therapist, or MD β before, during, and after your first visit. They share the exact questions to ask, the red flags that scream "run," and when it's time to break up with your provider (without being weird about it).If you've ever bounced between providers without getting better, this episode gives you the cheat codes.π WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:βββββββββββββββββββββπΈ SCREENSHOT THESE QUESTIONS FOR YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT:ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ"What do you think is going on, and how confident are you?""What does progress look like, and how will we measure it?""How many visits do you think this will take?""What would make you refer me to someone else?""What should I be doing between visits?"π© RED FLAGS TO WATCH FOR:ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ’ Treatment plan presented BEFORE examinationβ’ "I can handle everything" (no referral willingness)β’ Pre-sold visit packages (24 visits before they've seen you = business model, not healthcare)β’ Imaging on visit one for non-traumatic painβ’ Provider talks more than listensβ GREEN FLAGS:ββββββββββββββββ’ Provider asks about YOUR goals, not just symptomsβ’ Acknowledges what they DON'T knowβ’ Gives you home exercises and self-management toolsβ’ Comfortable discussing referralsβ’ Specific timeline with measurable progress markersβββββββββββββββββββββββββπ The PTCH Podcast is hosted by Dr. Jason Young (chiropractor) and Dr. Kathy Lynch (physical therapist).
