Whether you need a new primary health care doctor, or need a doctor for a specific symptom, this is a guide that will help you choose the right doctor for your needs. Choosing the right doctor can always be a task be it for a regular check up or something more serious, you take recommendations from friends, family, colleagues and almost everyone around you. The doctor they recommend may or may not work for you. There are many things you need to consider before choosing the right doctor for your health and wellness. 

 

  1. Assess your needs- It is really important that the doctor understands your needs. You need a doctor with whom you can communicate your needs properly and you are comfortable establishing a long term relationship. The doctor needs to understand your health history. Also, a very important aspect during COVID-19 times is the availability of home collection of samples and online consultation. 
  2. Map it out- If you are looking for a primary health care doctor, you need to find a doctor who is in your locality and easier to reach out to. You do not want to travel far when you are feeling unwell or in time of emergencies, such as heart problems. Find a doctor in your locality, so you can reach there easily and do not have to travel much during COVID-19 era. 
  3. Do your research- If you are going to trust that doctor with your health and wellness you definitely need to do some research on the doctor. Get to know your doctor professionally, ask around and take recommendations, this will help you be sure that you are choosing the right doctor.  Do your research on the facilities they provide that could include home collections of samples, online consultation, home delivery of medicines and many other things. 
  4. Place a cold call- Call the potential doctor’s clinic and see how they respond, the staff can also tell you a lot about the doctor, check in to see if the doctor is taking appointments or is really busy or gives priority to the old patients first. 
  5. See the right type of specialist- Always look out for what your body really needs and then choose the right doctor for you, seeing the wrong type of specialist, someone who focuses on only one body part can stand in the way of accurately diagnosing and therefore, correct treatment and affect your health. If you have a heart problem you will go to a heart specialist and not a doctor who has not specialised in that body part.
