Every family needs a doctor. It is important to shop for one before you ever need one. I suggest that a family try and find a doctor within the first year of their move. You can find a physician through your medical insurance company. WebMD also has a list of physicians in your area. It is important to look at their credentials before your first visit. Come up with a list of three, schedule a consultation visit with all three. Click here for some questions to ask each doctor. After the three visits, determine the following:
- Did you feel comfortable with the doctor?
- Did they fully answer your questions?
- Did they spend enough time listening to you and addressing your needs?
- Will the person meet the needs of your family even in years to come?
It will take time to build a relationship with a doctor but it is important that you feel comfortable from the onset and trust that you and your family will be well cared for. When everything else is equal, trust your instinct when deciding on a family physician.
