Doctor recommendation in Huntsville, AL area.
I just moved to Huntsville, AL not long ago and am finding it almost impossible to find a family doctor/internist that is has hours outside of regular business hours. Furthermore, in the past I have always been recommended to doctors by friends. I did take a chance on one (that still had horrible hours) but was close. She was not a good choice. I was actually informed at the end of my first appointment (that I took the day off for) that I wasn't examined because that would require an examination appointment and this was a new patient appointment? WHAT? Anyway, does anyone have a recommendation. I'd even take bad hours for a good doctor!

All done! You can click on the doctors name to learn more about them, and see a picture.
It also list office hours.
There are other, similar web-based directories. The American Dental Association has a website with search by zipcode and dental specialty:

You might also want to search http://www.healthfinder.gov which has lots of additional resources, or this site which lets you compare doctors.
