Health Tip: Pick the Right Family Doctor

Even if you, your partner and kids don’t get sick often, it’s a good idea to build a relationship with a family doctor.

The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends:

Ask friends and family for their opinions of a doctor they like.
Make a consultation appointment with a doctor to introduce yourself and ask questions.
Figure out if the doctor’s office hours, insurance, hospital and overall practice work for you.
Make sure you feel comfortable with the doctor, and are satisfied with the answers to your questions.
