Choosing a new doctor?
I've just moved to a new town (Albuquerque) and need to find new doctor. Just a primary care person, not a specialist. I don't have kids so I'm only looking for myself. I've asked around but the doctors people have recomended aren't on my insurance plan. Any suggestions on how to go about this other than just picking a random name off the list the insurance company gave me?

Take 3 names that are near to where you live: call up their offices. See if the office staff is nice.
Ask the following questions:
Check that they're taking new patients;
If your sick can you get a same day appt? How long will it take?
Is there another MD in the practice?
What are office hours?
What is the usual wait time is when you have an appt?
How long is person in practice?
What school did they go to? (or you can try looking them up online);
What hospital are they affiliated with? (Do you know if that's a good hosp? Is it a teaching hosp?)
Do they have an emergency service for off hours?
What are office hours?
See if you like the answers.
Good luck.
