Looking for a Doctor

[countryboy83]

Hey All... I think it's about time that I try and find an actual doctor to go to on the regular. I've got a really solid urgent care that's walking distance from me, but especially now, I feel like I should be going to someone who knows what I have going on and can really get to know me better. Any recommendations on how to even go about this? I'm looking at my insurance provider's website as well as the website of the hospital near me that I'm a huge fan of and doing some cross referencing. But, I don't really know where to go from here.

You'll have to shop around to find a doctor you like.

Seek a doctor who answers your questions willingly, takes your concerns seriously, and demonstrates a genuine interest in your health and well-being overall.

You'll also want to find an office / hospital with friendly staff who handle appointments and answer questions about out-of-pocket cost willingly and accurately.

It's worth having to drive across town for, in my opinion.

Don't trust the individual reviews online too much. Most reviewers either give 5 stars for mediocre service, or 1 star for circumstances of their own doing.
