The all-new www.doctor.com is an easy-to-use physician directory that lets consumers quickly find a doctor or other health professional based on geographic location, medical specialty and even health insurance affiliation.
With a beta version of the site quietly launched in August, Doctor.com has already been attracting attention for its powerful tools, ease of use, and innovative social elements. In addition to doctor search, visitors use the site to research provider qualifications, share doctor reviews, and download office paperwork in advance of their appointment. Doctor.com’s proprietary database includes detailed profiles for more than a million physicians, dentists, nurses, chiropractors, therapists, alternative medicine practitioners and other health professionals. In addition to listing providers’ contact information and health insurance affiliations, the site also gives consumers such valuable information as gender, spoken language(s), office hours, and credentials like medical education, board certifications, and professional training.
