SCRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCHHHHHH
doc....slow down.
ummmm.....I am in a sense asking for both....the first question in the OP is overall...BUT...the last 2 questions will require people's personal opinions and person experiences...besides...even if it wasn't 'asked for' personal experience is the ultimate teacher.....right?
And in all actuality...I can empathize with Scndia as I am going thru the same experience shopping for a new General Practicioner.
1. I am looking for one close to home
2. A male
3. One that speaks in clear English
4. Decent hrs.
5. Covered under my plan
And because I had the same one for 7 years I can't really go back because
1. She is 45 mins away
2. Is not covered under my insurance
It was a convenience having her, because I worked in teh same medical center when she was located so it was no big deal when I needed an appt however because of the above, I have to find a new one. The one I had last year, altho he was a very nice guy, I didn't stick with him because he had too many people and poor time management skills so now I am looking for a mid size office with a group that can handle a decnet case load.
So, think of it like this: one of the first things that we as patients want in a doc when doc shopping is convenience and comfort.
So really, there is nothing wrong with Scandia's reply.
