Re: How to find the right doctor? - November 9th 2015, 05:46 AM

Hey there,

I think that it is great you would like to find a doctor and continue getting help. That is a huge step in the right direction and you should be proud.

If you have ever seen a doctor in the past, you could always call them and ask for a referral. They shouldn't ask too many questions, and if so you can explain that you have to go with someone who takes your insurance. They shouldn't be offended or anything like that, though!

You can also call your insurance company and see if they can give you a list of people who they cover. That way you know for sure that the doctor will take your insurance, since you'll have gotten their name directly from the insurance.

You can also do a Google search of doctors in your area, and see who comes up. Then call them and make sure they take your insurance or even set an appointment up.

You can research some of the doctors online and see what you can find on them, if anything, as well, such as reviews.

Remember too that sometimes it takes more than one try to find the right doctor for you, and that is okay! Not everyone is compatible with one another. What may work for one person may not work for another, and that is fine. Just keep trying and you will find the one for you!

I'd also tell whoever you get in contact with to call you directly about anything related to this matter, and make sure they have your number.

Best of luck!
