• Verify the physician's license and credentials on the Pennsylvania medical board's website.
• Ask whether the practice accepts your insurance or offers clear cash-pay pricing.

Quality signals to look for

Look for physicians who provide written summaries of your visit and clear explanations of any recommended screenings or medications. Verify that the practice maintains transparent billing practices and offers multiple ways to contact them with questions.

A physician who takes time to listen and asks about your medical history is a positive sign.
