Doctor.com - Find Health Care Providers Online

Doctor.com offers a useful blend of features for both end users and medical professionals. These include a focused search tool that enables end users to search by health insurance affiliation as well as location and specialty. Another notable aspect is the ability for health professionals to upload photos, videos, and office forms for patients to download and complete before their appointment. The premium service on offer means that they basically get a mini-website complete with built-in content management, analytics, and community features. This is very useful for the many doctors who either have no website at all or an antiquated static website that doesn’t truly empower them to improve their practice. Finally, the site's proprietary method of instantly verifying professional users during signup means that medical credentials can be validated instantly. Most other sites force medical professionals to wait at least 24-48 hours to be approved for a listing.
