Finding care

How to choose a doctor, clinic or hospital online

A patient checklist for comparing qualifications, services, availability, verified reviews and continuity before booking.

A provider profile should help you make a decision, not simply present a name and photograph. Check verified status, professional qualifications, specialties, affiliations and practice locations. Consider whether available services match your needs, whether the appointment is in person or online, and what follow-up is offered. Reviews are most useful when connected to completed care. Finally, consider continuity. A convenient appointment is more valuable when its summary, prescription, reports and next steps remain available after the visit.
