Picking a GP is a crap-shoot: you'll have to try until you're tired of searching and settle on one you're comfortable with. Friends' recommendations will usually prove to not be a fit. There's no FaceBook or Apple app that can match you well with a GP (or specialist). This is largely the doctors' doing - they don't want their data public. Someday it'll happen and we'll be able to do some matching, but that is not yet a reality.
So for now its a personal relationship: what works for one person won't necessarily work for another. Unless you have a twin or clone who can recommend a GP, you simply must do the search.
