(HealthDay News) -- If you''re trying to find a new family doctor, the American Academy of Family Physicians offers these suggestions to help you choose the right one:
- Make sure you''re comfortable around the doctor, and that you can speak with him or her freely.
- Look for a doctor who answers your questions thoroughly and clearly.
- Choose a doctor who spends time with you and doesn''t make you feel rushed.
- Evaluate factors such as office hours, insurance, affiliated hospital, and office location. Do all of these things work with your schedule and lifestyle?
