Although, 'asking' or pushing for specific testing may turn a new doctor off, it is important to find out what his testing and treatment approach will be. And during this discussion, it is wise to at least mention tests or treatments you would l like to address...like lip biopsy, labs, etc. Big difference between asking for him to perform a test and asking him his position and importance of certain tests...sort of leaving the ball in his court, so to speak. Hope this makes sense.
