    suggestions for MD physician near central wanchai?

    I used to visit an MD Medicine doctor (General practitioner with a private clinic). I always prefer to go to an MD doctor over someone who has done only bachelors. I have moved to a different location now (Happy valley/wanchai) and I cannot find any doctor who has MD. Most private clinics are MBBS with other certifications but not an MD. I even used google to search but I couldn't find much. (some sites do not show qualifications, just the type of practice). I am sure there must be some MD physicians in central.
    Can someone please recommend a GP/family doctor who has an MD in medicine somewhere close to central, wanchai, CWB area?
    Thank you.

    Enter "MD" in the field for qualifications on the search form on the left.

    Why do you want an MD? MD is just the name that north americans use for a doctor.
    MBBCh MBBS is the name for doctors who graduate inthe UK, Ireland, Singapore, HK etc.
    It makes no difference whatsoever, it is not a higher qualification.

    as far as i know... MD is higher qualifications one does after completing MBBS..
    MBBS is bachelors in medicine where as MD is masters in medicine. It is a speciality in medicine.
    I may be wrong but that is my understanding.

    thanks @shri. i saw the website but didn't notice that i could filter based on qualifications. this is definitely useful although when i filter on qualifications i cannot select the speciality, so i need to check every doctor to see if he or she does general practice or not. bit less intuitive website. anyways this will help. thank you.

    You can select a speciality ... try family medicine, they're usually GPs with an extra course or two in Family / Geriatric.

    yeah. i meant we cannot select both speciality and qualifications together. it's either / or. anyways, this is fine.

    In the US MD is the entry medical degree to be a practicing physician, they will have a BA/BSc before getting accepted onto an MD. It says nothing about the specialty.

    I come from India where MD is one after MBBS. I kind of assumed HK education system is similar to India owing to british system. I still see some doctors here who are MBBS and MD but very few of those in private clinics. ai just prefer to see someone who has done speciality in medicine after bachelors.
    here MD that i am seeking is someone who has done masters and not the one as in american education system.
