A member asked:
How are patients supposed to know if one family doctor is good and another is bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
