Find Doctor Reviews & Choose a Best Doctor for Your Family

Finding Doctor Reviews online can help you choose the best doctor around you. But again, finding the genuine reviews of doctors by patients based on their individual experience is also difficult while there are lots of websites/portals where you can find the fake doctor reviews posted by the doctor's themselves.

Choosing a doctor is really a tough task and it becomes more difficult when you are in hurry/emergency and finding a doctor nearby you.

There are some things that needs to be verified about the doctor itself while choosing one for your family, below are some of those.

• Is the doctor a specialist of any disease/condition or not, you can ask this to the doctor itself.
• Where the doctor has practiced, i.e. for which hospital/medical center. The reputation of that hospital/medical center will help you measure the reputation of Doctor.
• Check out the education of doctor by asking himself and verify that by asking to people living/working nearby him, if you can.
• Will he/she be able to process the insurance claims?
• Will he/she be able to commute to a nearby place in case of emergency?
• Is there any hidden cost other than the normal consultation and treatment fee?
• Does he/she have the general laboratory facilities like x-rays, ultrasound or pathology test at his/her premises itself?

Some more general things to analyze when you first visit the doctor

•  Check out the hygiene at the doctor premises.
• Check if the staff is friendly and supportive.
• Ask the patients at the premises itself, if available.

Another important thing is to read the doctor reviews on internet, here also you need to be careful, choose a dedicated health reviews website rather than some general review sites such as mouthshut.com.

healthgrades.com provides the same in US and mymedicalfeedback.com is a dedicated health reviews portal in India.
