What if I don't like my primary health care provider?
Switch health care providers! You should go to a health care provider that you trust and you feel comfortable with. Your provider should be patient and should show you respect.
Go through the same steps listed above to find a new provider. Make a list of names, check on qualifications, and call the provider's office to ask questions. Remember to check to see if the new providers that you are thinking about are part of your health plan. You should let your current provider know that you are changing providers. Make sure that you get any medical records that your provider may have, so you can bring them to your new provider.
