When you need a specialist, how do you go about finding one? Do you
look in the Yellow Pages, go to an HMO or walk-in, rely on a
hospital referral, a friend, an online directory of doctors, or
perhaps a referral from your primary care physician?

Looking for the best doctor to suite your medical needs can be a
problem, especially if you don’t have time and you need to
research the doctor’s credentials. Whether you’re in urgent need
of help, or just need a second opinion, I will show you how to
access all the information you need – through the Internet’s
Virtual Top Doctor Consultant.

Information on Doctors’ Credentials
Many organizations house comprehensive credentials, such as
licensure, status and so forth. These organizations include:
* American Board of Medical Specialists
* American Medical Association
* Federation of State Medical Boards
* Your local State Medical Board
* Public Citizen Questionable Doctors
* Medical Societies

Then you have other establishments which gather up this information
in their own logistical format and provide this information to
consumers. Most companies provide information about doctors who have
had disciplinary action taken against them. And most consumers want
to know whether their doctor has had disciplinary action taken
against them. At the same time, most doctors – even the best ones
– are sued at one point or other during their careers. It’s
important to recognize that just because a doctor has been sued (or
not) does not mean he/she is incompetent, and that very often he or
she is innocent of the alleged malpractice.

What is a Virtual Top Doctor Consultant
As you probably know by now, there are literally hundreds of
different types of consultants.

We all want the best health care possible, so why don’t we shop
around for a doctor like we do for a house or car? Over the past few
years, through our own surveys and methodologies, MDNationwide has
designed the first top doctor searchable database, which enables YOU
to find the best doctor(s) in America without ever talking to
anyone.

Virtual Top Doctor Consultant researches thousands of MDs through an
extensive process, which reviews:
• How many years the doctor has been in service (over five years).

• Whether the doctor is board-certified.
• Whether disciplinary action has been taken.
• The extent of the doctors’ Internship, Residency, and
Fellowship training
• Peer and patient recognition
• Their community involvement
• Experience with type of surgical procedure
• Contacting medical societies
• Contacting hospitals
