    Xoova - Find a good doctor for you and your family

    Xoova.com, previously DoctorsDirect.

    com is a basic search engine to find doctors and specialists in the USA. This is a free service that lets users search for a doctor by location and then by specialist, treatment/condition, name or by health plan. There are over 500,000 physicians with information on Xoova and some have profiles that are very in depth. All profiles include the doctor's field, location, and contact information to easily schedule appointments or get in touch. When searching by treatment/condition (medical term or common name), Xoova provides an overview of the specific item searched in case the patient is not yet acquainted with the details. Similarly, there are descriptions of the types of doctors and specialists and what they do. The company estimates that 20,000 of the doctors have been posting recently. The posts are educational and personal, as some of the doctors really let site users get to know them in a few paragraphs telling about their lives and their journey as a medical care provider.

    Some questions about Xoova.com

    Whats with the name? It does not sound like a doctor searching engine and better make up for that trendy name with excellent service.

    Why Xoova.com might be a killer

    This is a great tool if patients want second opinions but don't want to ask their doctor for suggestions. Doctors have to verify who they are and their information before Xoova puts it online. This is a site users can trust.
