How to choose a doctor?

[Josh Runkle]

Long story but I need a new primary care physician. I haven't had a primary care doctor for a long time preferring to use a nurse practitioner instead. I have no idea how to go about finding a good doctor. I know I want someone that stays on top of current research, doesn't prescribe drugs to try to fix every problem, and takes the time to try to understand what the issue is. I hardly ever go to the doctor but I want a good one when I need one. Insurance makes it more difficult but there are still plenty of options in my area.

Any tips?

Any reason not to stay with your nurse practitioner? The last 2 of the top 3 things you said you were interested in are literally why nurse practitioners exist. They most likely do all 3.

They left the profession.
