How to Choose Your Doctor


Listen Later

What's the secret to choosing the right doctor or medical practice? If you're not sure what to look for, you're not alone. The answers can be nebulous, and it's not always clear what's valuable and what's not when seeking the right fit. There is no shortage of options, but a great place to start is considering the reason you are looking for a health provider.

Having a full understanding of your problem can enable you to align with the right person to help you find a solution. If you need support getting there, your family doctor may be able to point you in the right direction. If you don't have a specific problem and you want a comprehensive wellness check, they can help with that too.

As a patient, it's important you look for a provider that can give you the amount of time you need to resolve your problem effectively. You also want to look for a provider who listens and allows you to explain your needs patiently. This includes being able to ask the right probing questions so they can gather all the information they need.

The last thing you want as a patient is to feel rushed. Understanding and empathy are really important characteristics to have as a medical professional, especially when it comes to discussing sensitive issues.

Our medical system is designed to be efficient, but the more people doctors see, the less time they are able to spend with them. But as a patient, you need time to tell your story. Versatility is another quality you want to look for. Providers who have an abundance of knowledge and seek additional training and certifications have more to offer you as a patient.
