Here are some things that you should consider when choosing a primary care physician:   • If you have insurance, find out which doctors are “in-network”. This can be very cost-effective. • Find a doctor that meets your health needs. You may need a doctor who has certain specialized expertise. • Ask for referrals. The people you know can offer grid advice. • Think about how easy it is to get to the doctor’s office. If it is difficult to get there, you may be less inclined to go when you need to. • Set up an introductory visit so that you can meet the doctor and the staff. This will allow you to see how they do things and if you can relate to them easily.
