How to Get Your Man to the Clinic
Dr. Sandra Pierre-Louis discusses the challenges of getting men to prioritize their health, emphasizing the importance of regular checkups and addressing issues like diabetes, mental health, and erectile dysfunction. She highlights that 72% of men would rather do household chores than visit a doctor, and 77% prefer shopping with their partner. Dr. Pierre-Louis stresses the role of family involvement, particularly in educating adult children about health. She also mentions a Cleveland Clinic survey indicating men's reluctance to seek medical care due to fear of diagnosis. Dr. Pierre-Louis's practice offers both in-person and virtual mental health services, with appointments available.
