How Do I Find a Good Family Doctor?
While it may seem like a daunting scenario to find yourself a Family Doctor, it is a much simpler process than you might think. Your first step should be to see how many family doctors are in your area and find one(s) that are accepting new patients. This step can be accomplished with an internet search to find family doctors in your area, or you can check to see if there is a database which will show you all family physicians in your area who are accepting new patients. Another alternative is to ask your friends and family about the physician that they see and ask if they have any recommendations for you.
One of the decisions you will need to make is to decide how far you are willing to travel to see a physician on a regular basis or if you need medical treatment. You should make a list of doctors in your area who are accepting new patients and arrange a meet-and-greet appointment with them to make certain that they are a good fit. Remember that a meet-and-greet is not a commitment and you can continue to look if the first physician you meet with is not a good fit.
