Are you looking for a doctor — or specialist — and not sure where to start? Medicare.gov makes it quick and easy to find and compare doctors and other providers in your area.

Find & Compare Doctors

Here's how:

1. Visit Medicare.gov/care-compare. Select "Doctors & clinicians," and enter your location. You can also search by specialty, like general practice or internal medicine.
2. Review details about the doctors you're interested in, like their contact information, practice locations, hospital affiliation, or if they offer telehealth services.
3. You can also select the "Compare" button for a side-by-side comparison of up to 3 different doctors.

Once you're ready to schedule a visit with a new doctor, be sure to call ahead to verify general information, like office location, if they're accepting new patients with Medicare, and if you need a referral.
