Looking for a Family Doctor

I will start this by saying - I've only had 1 family doctor my whole life.  1!  This is just weird to me.  I was thinking about finding one closer to us, because when I'm sick I don't feel like driving an hour to see my doctor, 1.5 hr coming from work. But whenever I look, I get overwhelmed.  I did look when I lived in Abingdon/Bel Air, but no one was taking new patients.

Well, my doctor sent a letter out stating that starting January, he will no longer be with the practice and he's going into urgent care medicine.  Crying  I know I'm being a baby, but he's the only family doctor I've seen.  He's like part of the family since we all go to him, he knows us ALL...

So a few questions:

Any sugguestions or practices to avoid in the North East/ Elkton area?  I heard the practices in the old Elkton walmart were actually really good...

Do I just call, see if they are taking new patients and just sign up?  Or do I go meet them?  Get a wellness check up or something?  (see - I have no idea lol)

    I'm no help because I see a dr. in kimblesville and I don't like him at all.

    I'm looking at a practice in Elkton, seems to have good reviews.  I just get overwelmed with too many choices.  I'm looking up my provider list, and checking reviews online.  I know if I put it off I'll get sick and go to the urgent care for double the copay. 

    If you don't like him why not switch?

  • Check out Dr. Steven Breslow. He is in the Union Hospital medical building and thats who we see. He is very good and great at following up. When I had a UTI he was very good at getting back to me and followed up even weeks after to see how I was feeling. H also has him and hes very nice. Hes on the younger side and pretty cute too ;-)

    Ohhh! He was on my "maybe" list along with Dr Monteleone who also got really good rating. Thanks!
