Doctor.com - Find Health Care Providers Online

Doctor.com provides a focused doctor search experience that is characterized by flexibility and ease of use. The website offers powerful tools that help users locate and connect with local doctors, dentists, chiropractors, and other and health care providers who accept their health insurance.

Doctor.com's proprietary database features detailed information on more than 1.5 million health professionals in the United States. Users interface with a sophisticated search platform that employs technologies such as AJAX, Geo-Targeting, Google Maps, and Akamai-powered content delivery to quickly deliver personalized results. Users can search via criteria like medical specialty, location, and health insurance or they can look up a specific provider by name.

In addition to search, Doctor.com also includes social elements such as the ability for users to share reviews, ratings, and recommendations of providers they've visited. Medical professionals who have taken control of their Doctor.com profiles can also connect socially with users through integrated messaging tools and the ability to upload forms, photos, and videos for patients to download.

With a solid base platform now in place, future efforts will be focused on further enriching the social and community elements of the site with features like online scheduling, message forums, and additional services for health professionals.
