How to Find and Keep a Doctor
Advice from Dr. Philip R. Alper on choosing a primary care physician. Seek board certified internal medicine or family practice, prefer hospital ties to a medical school or residency program, and avoid solely proprietary hospitals. Start with a thorough physical exam and learn the doctor’s routine. Prepare questions, organize symptoms, and call early in the day with clear notes. Build good communication, and insist on explanations when a physician seems patronizing or authoritarian.
