The title of a Consumer Reports survey from 2011 says it all “What Doctors Wished Their Patients Knew”.
As the article says, Family Practice is not just about someone showing up for an acute problem, getting treated, and not coming back unless there is another problem. Instead, we are your partners in your health and a long term relationship with a Family Practice physician is critical to managing your health successfully.
Be certain to read the section “Tried-and-true strategies for finding the right doctor”. If we don’t handle something in a manner that you are comfortable with, please tell us so that we can address the issue…oh, and if you are pleased with us then we’d really like to hear that also!
There is plenty more information available from the survey. You can read the full article here.
