We all have to seek professional healthcare sometime. But how do we find a healthcare provider we really like and trust?
Think about a good experience you’ve had at the doctor’s office, urgent care, or hospital. What stood out to you as a good quality for your healthcare provider?
Think of a bad experience. What did you find frustrating? What would you change, if you could?
Building a relationship and trust with your healthcare provider can take time. Think of the first visit as a way to determine whether you might be a good fit. Observe the organization at the office and the communication style of people who work there. And after the appointment, reflect on how it went and what could have gone better. We all deserve a healthcare provider who will listen to us and help us, so if you are not satisfied, it is fine to look for someone else.
