Summary

Are you making the most of your doctor’s appointments as a caregiver? Or leaving with more questions than answers? Dr. Nadine Laraya, a Toronto-based family physician with over a decade of experience, shares what caregivers need to know about navigating the healthcare system, advocating for loved ones, and building stronger doctor-patient relationships. From how to prepare for medical appointments to understanding confidentiality, communication, and family dynamics, Dr. Laraya offers practical, real-world guidance for caregivers supporting aging parents or family members. She also pulls back the curtain on what family doctors are managing behind the scenes, and how caregivers can work more effectively with healthcare teams to improve outcomes. Grounded in both her clinical work and personal experience caring for her own parents, this conversation speaks to the emotional weight of caregiving and the growing demand on families as our population ages.
