HOW TO CHOOSE A PHYSICIAN

Your physician will learn many confidential things about you — things that you may even feel uncomfortable talking about with your closest friends. It’s important to find a physician you can trust when discussing health-related details.

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, the number of people with health insurance has increased dramatically. With this influx into the healthcare marketplace, it may actually be a challenge to find the perfect physician for you. Don’t get discouraged, and definitely don’t settle when you’re making this very important decision.

QUESTIONS TO ASKDoes your physician

accept your insurance? Most insurance companies offer a directory, revealing all physician offices that accept their clients. For added assurance, call the physician’s office to make sure it hasn’t dropped your insurance plan.

Are you comfortable with the hospital your physician is affiliated with? If your physician deems that you need to be admitted to a hospital, you may not have a choice on where you go. If there is a hospital in the area you are opposed to visiting for some reason, you may need to find a physician who isn’t affiliated with that particular hospital.

COMFORTABILITY AT THE OFFICE

Feeling comfortable with your physician is a critical factor when making your choice. It also is important to pay attention to the other members of your physician’s staff. Remember, the people who are scheduling your appointments, relaying messages to your doctor and greeting you as you enter their building were put in place by your physician. Disrespectful or inefficient staff should be a red flag about the physician’s practices.

A study by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research discovered that over half of Americans focus on personality and relationship when it comes to

choosing a physician. Look for a physician who seems interested in what you’re saying. Someone who interrupts your sentences or inadequately answers your medical questions should convince you to keep shopping for a different physician.

OFFICE POLICIESEach physician’s office

has different policies, but there are a few that should be industry standard. Consider finding a different physician if scheduling a routine appointment takes more than a week.

It also can be helpful to find out if the doctor offers same-day visits and ask how much time to expect to spend in the waiting room.

CONSIDER THE PODIATRISTYou rely on your feet more

than you realize. In fact, unless you’re experiencing pain in your feet, how often do you think about their health? Certain conditions are prone to can cause chronic foot pain, making getting around unbearable.

A podiatrist can evaluate and treat many different ailments. They also will be able to determine if the structure of your foot will make you more susceptible to injuries and how you can prevent problems.

HOW IMPORTANT IS FOOT HEALTH?

The American Podiatric Medical Association states that your two feet contain more than 50 bones, 60 joints and 200 muscles, tendons and ligaments that work in unison. All those moving parts and your feet still can handle the stress of your busy day. That should be enough to get you to provide proper care.

Being further away from your heart than any other body part also may cause your feet to incur issues. Certain diseases, such as peripheral arterial disease, can slow down your heart’s attempt to pump blood to your feet because of a buildup of plaque in your blood vessels.

COMMON FOOT CONDITIONS Take a look below at some of

the common conditions your feet may experience and learn what causes them. The good news is that a podiatrist can give you advice to prevent these and many other conditions.

• Athlete’s foot: A fungal infection commonly found in areas where many people walk around barefoot. Sweaty feet are more likely to catch this infection.

• Ingrown toenail: A toenail that pierces a person’s skin causing inflammation and infection. Wearing tight-fitting shoes or the same pair of socks without washing causes the skin to become moist and weaken, allowing the nail to penetrate more easily.

• Verrucae: Warts that are

Focus on the feet

usually found on the soles or near toes on the feet. Again, caused by moist environments such as swimming pools and locker rooms.

BENEFITS OF A PODIATRISTYour podiatrist can be helpful

in any foot pain emergency. He or she also can assist in encouraging preventive measures so you have a much lower risk of experiencing these issues.

From gait analysis to selecting the proper size and

fit of your footwear, your podiatrist can point you in the right direction for healthy feet for life. Reach out to your local podiatrist to set up your consultative appointment today. Your feet will thank you.
