How can I find a podiatrist or for that matter any health care practitioner who can really make a difference?
You need to concentrate on outcome – a practice’s consistent delivery of successful results. Ask the most important factor in the selection process is reputation. So word of mouth is one of the best ways to learn about particular doctors. Find a person, preferably several people, who have achieved consistently good results from a practitioner. Remember, quality and value in health care means obtaining the right diagnosis, spending time with your doctor and achieving a successful outcome. Make sure that you’re not involved with a practice that puts profit ahead of patient needs. Also make sure your doctor is up-to-date on the latest knowledge and procedures, and has access to the latest technology.
