How can patients figure out who is a good high quality family doctor?

Dr. Gutti Rao answered

Specializes in Hospital-based practice

Word of mouth: Patients know the best. They would be able to assess and rate their doctors. Nowadays healthgrades/ leapfrog web sites publish each physician grade/ patient reviews etc. You can gather as much information about the doctors.
