I live in Chicago, but this was very helpful! It has been so frustrating finding a physician, especially when you are in a panic.

I'm looking for a PCP and don't know what type of doctor to choose. I'm 33 & unfortunately have not had a check up in over 10 years & my silly self pays for insurance for me & my kid. Daughter using it so I'm like I might as well if I gotta pay for it but good gosh this is a tougher decision than I thought it would be...

We understand that it can be overwhelming to find a new PCP, but it's worth it in the end. You got this!

While you give out helpful information I I don't hear anything about insurance especially if you are in an HMO. You can have limited options especially if you are in a rural area or you might have to take that 45 minute to hour drive to find a provider in their network. In my circumstance the closest providers to me were the same clinic with 3 different brances in my area. My former clinic went to a higher level of care cost wise so couldn't afford to kerp them. How is this considered a choice? Otherwise you have to take that longer drive time. Asking for a recommendation from others when they have established care for a longer period of time can also not be useful. Doctors like this usually have full patient loads and aren't taking new patients. So you get stuck with who is available. This can range from someone nobody wants to someone who is brand new or the idiot resident. All in all not good choices. Luckily I only go to the doctor when it's absolutly necessary. I also stopped having yearly physicals once I was through menopause and stopped needing HRT. I was lucky to have been established with a good Ob/Gyn from the start when that happened. My insurance lets me choose as long as its in their provider network.
