Finding a new Primary Care Physician can be difficult, but the patient/doctor relationship is very important.  Here are a few things to consider to help you make a good decision.

What are your priorities?  Does it matter that the medical office be close to work or home?  Do you prefer your Primary Care Physician to be a specific gender, age, have specialized training, or be fluent in a certain language?

• What office hours are most convenient to your work schedule and lifestyle?

• Is there a specific medical condition that would require the care of a specialist?

• Do you like the doctor’s communication style?

• Are you searching for a Primary Care Physician for your whole family, or just you?

• Get recommendations from friends and family and learn more about their experiences.
