Is a doctor belonging to just one single medical group possibly better?

We have been trying to short list a few Primary physicians (Internal medicine or Family practice) in our area. Some doctors belong to just one medical group where as other doctors belong to multiple medical groups.





Can we make any assumptions based on this - example - the doctor belonging to multiple medical groups is possibly not getting enough patients in one medical group and hence needs to list himself in multiple medical groups. Similarly can we also assume the doctor belonging to just one medical group is able to sustain herself with enough patients in just that medical group and hence possibly slightly better?|||I wouldn't assume so.


getting many patients doesn't neccesarily mean that the doctor is good.


I would highly suggest you go with the Internist, not the family medicine doctor|||Some of the groups may have a lot of OLD DOCTORS who need help and that why they take in so many doctors. I am willing to bet if your chack the ages you find a lot of old doctrs who will not retire and need the young blood to work on cases they are too lazy to take careof espically when some patients start going into the hospital alot. The old doctors like to make the money from patients but hate going to the hospital and dealing with the hospital staff and a really sick patient.|||I know a doctor that goes to several locations is harder to schedule with....
