Dr. Keenan Al-Hojerry, MD Family Doctor in Newington NH

It ultimately depends on where you are and how comfortable you are searching for a new family doctor. Many of our patients were referred to us by their family members, friends, or even colleagues, at times it can be difficult to search for a new family doctor that works for your location as well as family. Referrals are a great option, especially if they are coming from someone you trust.

If you prefer to keep it quiet that you may be looking for a new family care physician, you can do a simple and quick google search. This way you are able to do it on your own terms, and find the doctor or clinic of your choice in the area which suits you best. When running a google search, it is best to use high-hitting keywords like “Primary Care Doctor” or “Family Care Doctor”, if you are at home, you can use the key term “near me” or input your zip code to showcase all of the nearest family care doctors to your location. From here you can investigate by calling to see if they are accepting new patients once you feel comfortable the clinic may fit what you are looking for from a review of the website.

Now that you have found a clinic you think will be a good fit, it is time for your first appointment with Dr. Alhojerry, the most important thing you can do before meeting the new physician is to gather all of your past medical histories, this may include test dates, any immunization records, surgical records, allergies, previous healthcare providers information, prescriptions you are currently taking and that you have previously taken and why. Check into any family history that may have any impact on your health including a history of stroke or cancer.

Prepare your list of questions to ask the doctor. The first appointment is not just about the doctor getting to know who you are, and seeing if they want to accept you into their clinic, but it is also you interviewing them to see if they will be a good doctor to have and start a medical partnership with.

If you feel uncomfortable or if you speak another language, you can always bring along a friend or family member to help ease any anxiety or worries away.

Being early shows you are consistent and respect the clinic and the physician’s time.
