Dr. Michael Wilkes
That's the provocative title of the first "Second Opinions" community health forums scheduled to debut Feb. 25 at 6 p.m. at the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law lecture hall in Sacramento.
Sponsored by Capital Public Radio, in association with The Bee, the forums will feature panel discussions with experts to inform consumers about practical solutions to solve health-care problems and open a dialogue between the public and medical professionals.
The "Can You Trust Your Doctor?" forum will be moderated by UC Davis School of Medicine professor (and Bee medical columnist) Dr. Michael Wilkes. The panel includes Dr. Marion Leff, director of Sutter Health Family Medicine Residency Program; Marge Ginsberg, executive director of Sacramento Healthcare Decisions; Beth Mertz, of the Center for the Health Professions at UC San Francisco; and Sharan Ahari, a former pharamceutical sales representiative for Eli Lilly Corp.
