I'm now on Medicare with Medigap Plan N so I'm no longer tethered to a network of physicians. I can go anywhere that accepts Medicare.
In my case I'm looking for a urologist. I've just emailed my primary care physician for a recommendation. I can ask friends for a recommendation, though that's going to be a limited source of information.
Searching Google for "Urologists in <Name of City>" gives limited results and I wonder if they are sponsored search results. Suspiciously, most of the doctors listed on the sites i.e. "Healthgrades" or "MediFind" are affiliated with the same hospital.
How do you go about finding a new doctor?
