Tips for Finding a Doctor:
  • Ask for a referral: If you have a general practitioner and are looking for a specialist or a pediatrician for your child, call your doctor and ask for a referral.
  • Ask a friend: Get a recommendation from someone that you know and trust. They may also know a doctor in the area.
  • Check with your insurance: As you are looking for doctors try someone who fits in with your insurance plan.
