Before enrolling in another family doctor, identify the main qualities you are looking for in the family doctor and make a list of some possible doctors, from the recommendations of relatives or friends, but also from online recommendations. Find out about them, especially about training, skills, training courses, specializations, recommendations from other patients, and experience.

When choosing a family doctor, you need to consider a number of things, such as:
Professional training and experience, training courses, certain skills acquired, specialized trainings, professional interests, therapeutic approach, etc.
Availability - some doctors may have a large number of insured persons, so visits and consultations will be scheduled very late. Also, make sure that your GP accepts new patients. Check working hours and whether they fit into your daily schedule. Also check for home visits and how you can contact your doctor outside of business hours. Also analyze the waiting time before an appointment, following the recommendations of other patients. Choose a doctor who manages time correctly and whose office respects the time allotted for each consultation.
Location - your location should be easily accessible.
Gender - women may feel more comfortable with a female doctor, while men may feel more comfortable with a male doctor, which is why it is good to take this factor into account.
Check to see if he or she is affiliated or collaborating with certain testing labs, other practices, doctors, or hospitals, and whether there are testing labs near the practice.

Once you have chosen a doctor, you can call the clinic or office for more details and to make an appointment for a discussion with your doctor. After the first visit to the family doctor, it can be determined if there is a compatibility between you and the doctor in terms of communication, if you feel that you can talk openly with the doctor about what worries you, what are the therapeutic approaches, etc.

After a visit to the office you can get an opinion on the compatibility between your doctor and you and on other issues such as:
Comfort around the doctor and communication with the doctor - it is essential that the family doctor makes you feel at home, that you can communicate openly and effectively about any problem. He must be honest and direct, but empathetic and careful. A first consultation proves this doctor-patient compatibility, you can see if: the doctor interrupts you when you speak, if he answers your questions completely, if he seems hurried or gives you due attention, discusses the medical history in detail, etc. Choose a doctor with whom you can communicate effectively and openly and who is passionate about what he or she is doing.
Adjacent staff - here we are talking about nurses or receptionists, because you will also interact with them, they will send messages to the doctor, they will answer the phone and they will make the appointments. They must be efficient, respectful and attentive. You can give a sample call at the front desk to get an idea of ​​how to approach it and how serious it is.
