Yes, urgent care doctors accept new patients. One of the main responsibilities of an urgent care doctor is to provide care on a walk-in basis to patients from all medical backgrounds and walks of life. In this sense, urgent care doctors are always accepting new patients, as they do not discriminate against whom they provide care, but offer it to those who need it. However, some urgent care doctors also have regular patients and provide them with primary care, similar to a family physician. In these cases, urgent care doctors accept new patients if they are not already at maximum capacity. At Doc-Aid Urgent Care, our urgent care doctor is accepting new patients and can deliver top-level healthcare to patients of all needs.

When meeting with a new doctor, it is important to ask the right questions in order to determine the quality of care they can provide as well as the doctor’s communication style and office practices. Good questions to ask may include:
• Are you board certified? In which field?
• What is your area of specialization?
• How long have you been practicing medicine?
• How many patients do you have?
• How do I book an appointment?
• Do you have experience treating my specific medical concern/condition?
• What treatments do you use?
• How can I improve my health?
• What is the most important area of my health that I need to give more attention to?

Looking for a new doctor can be challenging, especially after moving to a new city or community. Major city centers have hundreds—if not, thousands—of doctors, including specialists, generalists, and everything in between. For many people, knowing what to look for in a doctor can be perplexing, but there are a few important considerations to keep in mind that can aid in the search. These include:
•  The doctor’s area of expertise
•  The location of the clinic (commute, parking)
•  The clinic’s hours of operation
•  The friendliness of the staff
•  The scheduling system (i.e. how to book an appointment, the expected wait time for an appointment)

The most important thing to consider when choosing a new doctor is if they have experience treating your specific condition. This is especially crucial for patients with chronic diseases or complex conditions that require close monitoring. If a physician does not have ample experience in this area, they may not be able to provide the highest level of care.
