I would honestly try yelp and then cross check with the AETNA portal to make sure they are either in network! I found this to be much better because I had a dentist tell me I needed over 10,000 in dental work when I had two other opinions say I only needed 2,000. Dentist are great at ripping people off
Zocdoc.com
I used to use this, but only a fraction of the doctors are on the platform. And I was running into a lot of cases where the online schedules did not match their true availability as well as them not being covered under my insurance (even if they had listed it). Ended up being more of a waste of time.
I start with the insurance portal to make sure to stick with in network docs only. Then I also check with ZocDoc, Yelp, Healthgrades, and also the state's doctor license registration site (you can check if there are any public malpractice suits listed; but it typically will not show settled lawsuits, which are the majority of malpractice allegations).
I call the 1-800 number. Then send me a big list of everyone in like 20 miles. Then I use RateMD or Healthgrades. I prefer doctors that have a good degree and usually run their own small business than in a big chain. The doctors in a big hospital don’t have as much time to do an in depth research about your financial history.
Probably meant medical history.
Get several local recs from colleagues, family, friends (best quality control is people I know, not internet reviews). Then check those doctors for location, hours, insurance fit.
