Vitals.com In their own words
“At some point in our lives, we all will need to go to the doctor. Perhaps for a mild problem, or perhaps for a serious one. The choice of which doctor to go to, and the performance of that doctor, can be a life-or-death decision.
Vitals was created to give consumers the tools -- for the first time -- to make intelligent, informed decisions about which doctor to choose.
Our web site offers you a variety of ways to help in your choice of the right doctor.
For physicians, it allows you to keep track of what others are saying, gives you the opportunity to let consumers know about your work, and lets you make sure your profile is complete and accurate”.
Why Vitals.com might be a killer
Having a new service like his one is just great news, as it will allow users to establish a more fluid and trust-based relationship with the professionals they choose to take care of their health. Also, the fact that psychological issues like bedside manner and years of experience are addressed make it particularly useful, as one tends to feel more comfortable with physicians that are not Dwarf Grumpy’s big brother.
Some questions about Vitals.com
A substantial drawback I found in this service is that not all physicians’ profiles have Medical Insurance information; this means that there are several profiles that don’t mention whether they are providers or authorized practitioners for any given insurance company. Although you can get this information by other means, it doesn’t make much sense to have a one-stop shop that lacks this data. Can they ask all their profiled doctors to include clear information on this point?
