You’ve established that you know a trusted relationship and open, easy communication is key, but how do you start the search for your primary care physician?
- Recommendation – Talk to your friends and see who they trust and recommend.
- Accessibility – Contact different clinics/surgeries – See how easy it is to contact the doctor during office hours and after hours.
- Online Reviews – See if the doctor has online reviews or testimonials from previous/current patients
- Get in Touch – Set up an appointment to sit and talk with any potential physicians. Think about what aspects mean the most to you and see if their personal and professional manner makes them the right physician for you.
Whichever Physician you end up choosing, make sure it’s someone that you feel safe and cared for with. With primary care, you’ll hold this relationship for life, and the connection could make all the difference in how you feel and how you respond, when it comes to your healthcare.
