The Trust Prescription (Pre-Order)

Trust in physicians and the health care “system” has declined sharply over the past half century―even as medical science has achieved extraordinary advances. Why?

In The Trust Prescription, Dr. Anthony Sanfilippo examines the growing gap between clinical success and public confidence. Through powerful case studies and thoughtful analysis, he demonstrates that trust is not simply a byproduct of expertise―it is the foundation of effective care.

Organized around the “Trust Triad”―Communication, Truth, and Commitment―the book dissects how breakdowns in human connection, institutional pressures, economic forces, and technological change have eroded the doctor–patient relationship.

This is not a nostalgic plea for a bygone era of medicine. It is a practical and forward-looking guide for physicians, healthcare leaders, policymakers, and patients seeking to restore credibility and strengthen relationships in a complex modern system. Without trust, even the best systems fail. With it, healing becomes possible, and healthy, caring relationships will thrive.
