How to find a doctor

If you are looking for a doctor ask your friends who they go to. Call the person recommended and ask if they honor your insurance and if they are taking mew patients. Make an appointment to meet them and ask if there is a fee for this meet and greet. Bring a list of questions that concern you. Besides speaking to the physician, talk to the office staff, they are the gate keepers for the physician. Bring a list of your medications and your medical history. Ask the doctor/staff about how easy it is to get an appointment. Do you have to wait weeks or months to see the doctor? What is the average waiting time in the office? How much time does the doctor spend with each patient? Has the doctor treated a person with your medical history? If there is an emergency, can you see the doctor that morning or that day? What happens at night or on the weekends/holidays? Who are the doctors on call? If you do not feel comfortable asking the doctor questions, choose another health care provider. You should always feel comfortable with your doctor. If you are intimidated please pick someone else.
When I was looking for a pediatrician I asked a friend of mine with the most children who she used. It turned out to be a great choice.
