She's just fantastic, and when I told her I was new to town and looking for good doctors, she recommended my PCP and dermatologist, both of whom I love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pick-doctors-in-a-new-town#post-1357012 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 15:00:14 +0000 yellowbird 1357012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: If there are no recommendations, I usually just make an appointment and see for myself if they seem like a good fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pick-doctors-in-a-new-town#post-1356999 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:54:32 +0000 autumnlove 1356999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look at schooling and training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pick-doctors-in-a-new-town#post-1356986 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:50:43 +0000 deactivated_account 1356986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would first look to who is covered under your insurance if that is an issue. Then I would look at the doctor's credentials. I'm picky about what schools my doctors attended. And then, yes, just go to a doctor and keep trying new ones until you feel comfortable. So sorry you don't have any referrals from friends. Its tough but you will find one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pick-doctors-in-a-new-town#post-1356972 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:45:07 +0000 snowjewelz 1356972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved after I got married in May to a brand new town, all my old doctors are way too far away now. </p> <p>I used to ask my co-workers for references, but now no one really lives in my town and everyone seems to go to doctors around their hometown and not close to work. We have no friends/family that live where we are either!</p> <p>I looked up a bunch of doctors via our insurance's website &amp; tried to google some with not much luck.</p> <p>How do you bees find new doctors? Do you just pick one and go from there, switch next time if you don't like them? </p>
