Do you just pick the closest? Do you check the reviews? Can you even trust reviews? Independent practice vs hospitals?

Wtf?

How the fuck do people navigate this shit?

It will vary depending on your location.

Here in Australia you first talk to a General Practitioner, as in your local family doctor.

They will make some suggestions about which service might be a good fit for you.

I wouldn’t read or trust reviews for clinics in this industry.
