I need to find a new medical provider, because mine is not very good. They take forever to read labs, generally very dismissive of my concerns, and delayed addressing a now serious health issue that will require yearly monitoring and eventually surgical intervention.
So how did you find yours? Recommended by a friend, some sort of directory (what do you look for in that case?), did you just get lucky?
My medical care provider is awesome. UW Health (University of Wisconsin) is a non-profit organization that was built on top of a student healthcare system. They focus on treating the patient, not the condition, and have managed to build a staff who really believe in that. The system is associated with the UW Medical School, so it has access to the latest equipment and specialists in almost every area. In ten years, I have met one person there who did not impress me. She turned out to be from a temporary agency.
UW Health is perpetually understaffed, like all medical providers, because the business model for insurance companies is to prevent sick people from getting the care they need. They still manage to provide excellent care, but there are often long waits to see people.
