Advanced: Reading Comprehension

We all need to visit the doctor at some point in our lives. Many people don’t give much thought to choosing a doctor. However, it’s very important to choose someone that’s right for you. Below are a few tips to help you choose a doctor. Do some research — Ask friends for recommendations. Talk to other health care professionals. They are privy to first-hand experience with a physician's skills and demeanor. Do a background check — It’s a good idea to conduct an online background check. Most states have an online database that can provide you with information about a doctor's education, board certification, and any lawsuits that have been filed as a result of malpractice. Call the doctor’s office and ask for an introductory appointment — This is your chance to meet doctors in a business-like setting, ask questions, and get a feel for what they are like.
