If We Can’t Help You Here’s How To Find An HIV Doctor In Atlanta

Obviously, the doctor you choose should be knowledgeable about HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and have a lot of experience treating patients with HIV and AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). There’s an easy way to find out how experienced your HIV doctor might be: Ask them how many HIV patients they’ve treated.

Personality is another thing to consider when choosing an HIV doctor in Atlanta. Do you feel at ease with the doctor? Can you talk comfortably? Is he or she looking at his computer when they talk to you or looking straight into your eyes? Your doctor’s personality, approach, and responsiveness is a critical component to good care. Here’s a helpful guide from thebody.com titled, “Is Your HIV Care Provider the Right Fit For You?”

Always interview as many doctors as you can to find the best fit. During the interviews I suggest you also ask the following questions:

Questions To ASK

  • Does the doctor want you to take an active part in decision-making or does he or she prefer a more traditional doctor-patient relationship?

 

  • Do you want a doctor who is aggressive about treatment — encouraging you to try new drugs or participate in research trials or do you want a doctor with a more conservative bent?

 

  • Does your doctor believe in complementary care like vitamin therapies or homeopathy? If that’s what you believe in you should seek out a doctor that shares your beliefs.

 

  • Is your doctor board-certified in Internal Medicine? Does he specialize in HIV?

 

  • What is the average wait time for appointments? How long does it take for him or her to return phone calls?

 

  • Does the doctor have a solid referral base of specialists?

How to Find an Atlanta HIV/AIDS Doctor Who’s In Your Network

If you already have a primary care physician with whom you feel comfortable, find out if this person also has the skills and experience to be your HIV/AIDS doctor. If not, they can refer you to a specialist. If you need to find a new HIV/AIDS doctor, and don’t know where to begin, here are a few ideas to help you get started:

 – Contact a local HIV/AIDS organization for the names of several doctors (see below for a great list of care providers).Contact your insurance provider for doctors in Atlanta with HIV experience.
