Until It's Fixed

Why The Right Doctor Matters

EPISODE SUMMARY: Many studies show having a strong relationship with your doctor really matters. People who like their doctor report fewer health issues and a higher quality of life compared to those who don’t. That’s because the more comfortable you are with your doctor, the more likely you may be to follow their advice – or go to them when you’re struggling. We talk with Dr. Soo Rhee from Healthgrades (part of RVO Health,) the #1 platform for finding a doctor and a leader in health care transparency, about how to not just find a doctor but the right doctor for you.HIGHLIGHT:[04:48] Dr. Soo Rhee talks about how Healthgrades helps patients to make empowered and informed decisions.RESOURCES:<a href="https://www.healthgrades.com/">Healthgrades</a><a href="https://www.optum.com/health-articles/article/healthy-living/what-makes-good-doctor-here-are-7-signs-you-have-great-one/">What makes a good doctor? 7 signs you have a great one | Optum</a><a href="https://www.optum.com/health-articles/article/healthy-mind/how-different-mental-health-professionals-help-you-heal/">How different mental health professionals help you heal I Optum</a>GUESTS:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/soo-rhee-02907b196/">Dr. Soo Rhee</a>, VP Medical Science, Quality Solutions, HealthgradesThe views, opinions, endorsements and content expressed in this podcast do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions or policies of Optum.Visit optum.com for more information about how Optum is helping to create a healthier world.

Health care in the United States is complex, hard to navigate and doesn’t always work the way it should. The good news: So much has changed over the last few years. Leaders inside and outside of the health industry are rethinking how to deliver care and support to meet all people where they’re at.

When it comes to your health, everything is connected. So, taking better care of it needs to go beyond the physical to include mental, emotional, social and spiritual health. And to look at the full picture, health care needs to give more consideration to where you are born, live, learn and work, too.  

In Season 3 of “Until It’s Fixed,” we’ll talk with thought leaders and advocates working to solve the health industry’s biggest challenges — as well as personal stories from people who live with these issues every day.

We’ll have deep conversations about opportunities to make the current system work better for everyone, including talking more openly about the role that gender, sexual orientation, race, income and other areas of your life play in accessing and receiving health care.  

This is where change starts. Join us on the inspiring journey to create a healthier world — and make health care simpler and more effective for everyone.
