RE: What's a good doctor?

...one who listens to you, is intelligent, has good diagnostic/problem-solving skills and seems to care.

Most Internal Medicine physicians have around 2500 patients in their practices.

With HMOs, Medicare and healthplans paying them less, they must see more patients and spend less time with each one to keep their incomes the same.

A doctor will not remember he adjusted your meds - if he's good, he will have noted it in your chart and reviewed the chart before he saw you.

He should require you come in for an annual physical where he goes over all of your conditions, lab results, medications and questions.
