How can any patient know when they have made the right choice? Feeling comfortable with the doctor and his staff is one major indicator. Ask yourself if you are able to ask questions without feeling embarrassed or shy and if the doctor’s bedside manner satisfies you. You shouldn’t feel rushed to be hurried away after an appointment if you have questions. Any questions you may have should be treated with respect and answered to your satisfaction before you walk out of the exam room. Do you trust the provider to suggest the best treatment and care? If so, then you’re well on your way to a long and healthy relationship with a primary care provider.
