›› Doctor Search
We moved about three
years ago. Finding a good doctor has been one of the biggest challenges
that we have faced. Thankfully, there is an online doctor search tool
that has proved to be quite helpful in locating available doctors
throughout the city who are still accepting new patients.
I did my doctor search and specified that I was interested in doctors
within our local area. To my surprise the doctor search resulted in my
finding a doctor practically in my own backyard. At the end of our lane
way there is a small doctor's office and there were three doctor's
working out of this particular office. The doctor search identified one
of these doctors to be accepting new patients. This proved to be very
handy and I was able to get in to see this new doctor right away as it
turned out that this clinic was actual a walk-in doctor's office,
requiring no appointment to see a doctor.
Unfortunately, after meeting with the doctor identified in the doctor
search, I was disappointed that she was not a suitable match for my
needs. After discussing some of my concerns and problems, she actually
chastised me, making me feel worse than I already did. This obviously
wasn't going to work out.
So, I went back to
the handy doctor search tool and set out on my quest to find a good
doctor once again. I was pleased to find another walk-in doctor within
easy traveling distance who was also accepting new patients. I quickly
arranged my affairs and headed off for an initial visit, seeing as I
was going to need a new prescription in a matter of a few days. This
doctor was located in a rougher part of the city, and upon arriving I
was rather taken aback to find that this particular office was also a
methadone clinic for recovering heroin-addicts. It was quite disarming
to sit in the waiting area, to find myself surrounded by some very
derelict looking individuals with all manner of maladies. However, I
stuck to my decision since finding a doctor is quite difficult and it
turned out I was pleasantly surprised. The doctor search had identified
a doctor that it turned out was exactly what I was looking for. She was
very kind and understanding and took her time to take an interest in
me, even though it was obvious she was extremely busy. I was such a
disappointment to find after only a couple of visits, that my new
doctor was moving to a new practice specializing in the treatment of
HIV-positive patients, and she would no longer be available to her
former patients.
And so, once again I
went back to the online doctor search tool. I finally found a good
doctor, not too far from home, who has been treating me for the past
few months. I have found the doctor search tool to be very handy and
helpful and it has saved me a lot of leg work in finding a doctor.
