Though I'm not in the medical field, I come from a family of doctors, pharmacists, dental hygenists and nurses. Allow me to tell you how you should select a doctor.
1.) What med school they went to - If given a choice between a doctor from Northern Ontario Medical School or the Aga Khan University in Pakistan, go with the graduate from Aga Khan.
2.) Foreign doctors have a better clinical approach - Clinical approach means they talk to you, and examine you more; the reason for this is back in their countries tgey don't have the luxury of testing facilities like we do here.
3. Note their office - If their office is clean, organized and their office staff is competent, they are likely good doctors. Take a look at the people waiting to see the doctor, if they appear to be educated and well put together then the doctor is likely good.
4.) Dont go by friendliness - Doctors are pressed for time, if a doctor is nit chatty, but is curt and to the point that is him/her trying to be efficient and address the concern without getting emotional.
Now these are not hard and fast rules, but just some inside knowledge I've picked up in a family of medical professionals.
