What is the difference in type of care btw a doctor in a huge group practice and a doctor in independent practice?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Doctors: Hopefully nothing. But, in reality a doctor is one you should feel that listens, takes time, offers options, is easily accessible. You can find the right doctor in a variety of medical settings. So, the real answer here is take the time to find one you connect well with.
