[quote=Anonymous]This is partly just venting and partly a question of is there a better way to find a new primary care doctor (mine retired). I have spent hours looking for a new primary care doctor that (1) takes my insurance (united healthcare which I expected would have a decent network), (2) is taking new patients, and (3) has decent reviews (meaning, generally positive minus a few disgruntled patients which is pretty normal). I am striking out as none of the ones I've contacted are taking new patients. All the recommendations I've gotten from people I know haven't panned out because those doctors no longer take new patients. Are they all just going concierge and ditching insurance? Is there a better way to search besides starting with my insurance company's provider directory? I am looking in the areas of Rockville, Gaithersburg, N. Bethesda -- and would be willing to go to Germantown, too -- so basically the 270 corridor.[/quote]
