How to Find a Doctor by Address

Locating a doctor before you move to a new location both saves you time and prevents you from having to make a search when you're feeling under the weather. It's likely that you will not know the name of any doctors in your new town or city. Numerous online search services let you locate doctors by address as well as by specialty. Every one of these doctor-search services is free to use.
