Find a doctor

Finding a doctor ragarding your medical needs doesn't need to be that difficult. Yes, their are several different things to consider such as:

• Insurance acceptance
• Patient acceptance
• Geographically how far are you willing to travel?
• What type of specialist?
• and of course QUALITY

Back then, it didn't matter you just new you had to see a doctor so you opened the "yellow pages" and picked a doctor. Or you contacted a hospital nearby and browsed through their directory of doctors, or maybe you had an HMO do all the work.

Its amazing how misinformed many consumers are. At the same time many are finding out that a doctors training and experience can mean life or death. They are realizing doctors are not perfect and their experience and training varies from one another. We all want the best doctor(s) on our side when the need arises, after all a doctors (surgeons) work could affect us the rest of our lives.

Where Should you look? Well, you can start your search by going to MDNationwide . If you don't see a doctor near your area by visiting mdnationwide you can visit castleconnolly.com or bestdoctors.com. Remember, all of these are services which are fee based. It cost money to provide these services, there are few (if any) who supply this type of information for free. If time is not a problem and you don' t want to pay. Here is what I would do.

• Find out what hospital is nearby
• Visit their website and browse through their directory of doctors
• I would pick 2 or 3 according to my medical needs
• Visit the American Board of Medical Specialist
• You will be asked for email verification and be giving a password
• Type in the 2 or 3 doctors you've chosen
• If they are board certified in their respective specialty field move on.
• Then go to Google and type their name (Dr. John Doe neurology boston) and other information.
• The reason for this is that publications, articles, inventions, surgical procedures, community involvement, or other involvements by your doctor are sure to be indexed by google. Finding what he/she has been up too can be critically important.
