How many of you know about our patient websites and blogs? When I was researching surgeons I would spend a lot of time looking up the blogs. However, I fear most of you don't even know what a patient website is, so I would love to hear the communities input.

I actually created one years ago to keep track of my healthcare information.  Large clinics will actually help, if you ask, so that you have access to your chart, the meds you take, record of visits.  In the end it helps to reduce healthcare costs.

This, as it pertains to hair restoration, I would imagine it has to do more with the patient's overall experience with a particular entity.  These tend to be nagative in nature and it's actually the clinic's worse nightmare.  They are there for others to see immediately as soon as anyone starts researching.  Lots out there.

I believe blogs, and there are tons out there, share the experience of an individual in whatever task they are involved in.  These are typically positive in nature.  Hair restoration wise, a company could ask you to share your story.  Far different than just provide feedback on Yelp, for example.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Patient websites are blogs that allow you to track your progress. It’s like a thread, except you don’t have to sift through pages and pages to see the results. Just like threads they can be positive or negative depending on the results.

Its not a great set up. It should all be on the same page. The links being  on the left are fairly annoying.

Sent you a PM, i'll get this sorted out. I would love to see patient websites become popular because they really are a great tool for researching. I personally found them easier then sifting through threads.

Is this service only for patients of the doctors who sponsor the site to be 'recommended'?

No, not at all. Everyone is free to use the site for any surgeon regardless.
