Description: A variety of physicians and specialists are located throughout Charlotte. And, as the city has grown, so has its community. Doctors’ offices and clinics are no longer clustered near hospitals, and they now offer satellite offices and new clinics throughout the Charlotte area. So unless you’re looking for someone in an extremely specialized field, you will probably find a doctor you like located near your home or office.If you are visiting or if you need medical help and haven’t found a physician, there are numerous urgent-care centers around town providing minor medical emergency services and walk-in health care. You don’t need an appointment, and most have extended hours.As with anything else, word-of-mouth is usually a good way to find a physician. Your neighbors, friends, and coworkers can give you advice on the doctor’s personality, how well the staff treats its patients, and/or how long you can expect to wait. Charlotte also has formal services that can refer you to physicians and other health-care professionals. These referral services can be a great help if you are new to the area.
