I need to find a new medical provider, because mine is not very good. They take forever to read labs, generally very dismissive of my concerns, and delayed addressing a now serious health issue that will require yearly monitoring and eventually surgical intervention.

So how did you find yours? Recommended by a friend, some sort of directory (what do you look for in that case?), did you just get lucky?

    Say you’ve done that. How do you choose one? What criteria should I look for? Where they went to school? Are health grades any good?

      Honestly that’s kind of a personal decision—it depends on what criteria is important to you. In my opinion, having a doctor that you feel comfortable with and listens to your needs is the biggest one, but you can only test that out through trial and error, and some people value other traits more.
