One of the most daunting tasks of switching health care plans or moving to a new area is locating a family doctor that is truly right for your whole family.
Charlotte’s Premiere Health has a great reputation, not only among patients who would recommend our primary care services, but also among family doctors themselves. Here are some tips to remember what to look for when choosing a family doctor:
1. Ask pertinent questions. If you have a toddler, a teenager and/or an elderly parent you care for, make sure the family doctor you choose has expertise in caring for everyone in your family. Otherwise you will be forced to find multiple family care physicians, which can be irritating as you try to explain to them what another doctor told you during your visit with another family member.
The fine clinical staff at Charlotte’s Premiere Health and Dr. Carol Rupe have decades of experience listening to and caring for the needs of infants, toddlers, young children, teenagers, young adults and older family members. This may seem like a given but it is always best to ask first when making that final election for a family doctor.
2. Find out how much time your family doctor will spend with you getting to know you as a person, not just as a patient, and understand your needs. If at the first encounter your potential family doctor is ready with their prescription pad, then they are not really paying attention.

3. Determine if the clinic you will visit is convenient. It may be nice that a doctor’s office is close to your home, but not if you have to wait in line for two hours to be seen for routine examinations, or an allergy checkup.
