Tips for Finding the Right Family Doctor 

 Choosing the right doctor can be challenging and overwhelming. What if you choose someone who can’t provide the care you need? Or what if they provide a more clinical than personable approach? No one can prevent or foresee everything. However, you can get closer to finding the right family doctor by following these tips from Dr. Farley and the team at Precision Direct Primary Care in Denton, TX.

Check Reviews and Accessibility 

 While you can do a quick internet search of providers in your area, you can usually gain a great deal more insight by asking family, friends, and coworkers. Ask for recommendations to get a good idea of where to start your search. Once you’ve amassed a list of providers in your area, try to find reviews from patients to get an insider’s perspective on each. At our practice, you don’t need to worry whether we’re in your insurance network, because we use the direct primary care model. You simply pay a monthly membership fee.

Gather Information About Each Provider 

 If you deal with any chronic health conditions, you need a doctor who can provide care for them. It’s also important to know how closely and conveniently located their office is, how long it takes to get an appointment, their walk-in policy, hours of operation, what hospitals they use, and more. 

If you want your children to have the same doctor, find out if they offer pediatric care. You might have additional priorities, such as whether they offer telehealth visits. Take some time to learn what each option provides and whether it fits your needs, preferences, and other factors. 

Meet with the Doctor 

 Schedule a time to “meet” the doctors remaining on your list. Many offer either an online, over-the-phone, or in-person meet and greet that you can use to get a feel for how you’ll interact with one another and whether you’ll be comfortable.  

Know That You Can Change Your Mind 

 You might think that choosing a doctor means you’re stuck with them, which puts unnecessary pressure on your search. You have the right to change your mind and find a new provider if you are not comfortable or happy with their care.
