## You do not need to choose a device first

People often arrive with a symptom, a diagnosis from another clinician, or a question about something they have heard. A reasonable evaluation begins with that context rather than assuming a specific modality is the answer.

Before agreeing to a service, ask:

1. What finding or goal is this intended to address?

2. What alternatives—including no treatment or another evaluation—are reasonable?

3. What are the material risks, limits, and reasons it may not be appropriate?

4. How will response be measured, and when will the plan be reconsidered?

5. What will it cost, and what commitments are expected?

No service can promise a cure, a percentage improvement, permanent results, universal safety, or avoidance of medication or surgery.
