- 1). Find an Oklahoma City doctor before you get sick. Even though there are hundreds of doctors to choose from in the area, it can be very difficult to find a doctor who agrees to see you and who is covered by your medical insurance on short notice. Start the search for the doctor before you're in dire need.
- 2). Ask your current doctor if he can refer you to a doctor in Oklahoma City. Many doctors have networks that reach across the country, and if you can get a referral, the process of switching doctors will be much easier.
- 3). Talk to any people you know in Oklahoma City to see if they have a doctor they can refer you to. People to ask include family members, friends, co-workers or neighbors.
- 4). Check with your health insurance company. Your insurance company can send you a list of Oklahoma City doctors that are covered by your insurance plan. You might also request a list of doctors in neighboring cities, including Bethany, Mustang, Jones, Yukon and Edmond.
- 5). Use online resources to find a doctor in Oklahoma City if you've hit roadblocks with all other possible options. Websites like WebMD.com offer physician directories that allow you to search for doctors by location and specialty.
- 6). Check the credentials of any Oklahoma city doctor you're considering. Visit their websites and read over the "About" section to learn more about their education and experience. Visit the Oklahoma Medical Board website, located in the resource section below, to make sure they have a current Oklahoma license to practice medicine.
