As of this morning Insider Pages had amassed comprehensive profiles on over 2.9 million health care providers from all across the United States. That’s about 2 million doctors and dentists and another 900,000 complementary care providers (therapists, nurses, physician assistants, nutritionists, personal trainers) and alternative health care providers (acupuncture, reiki, massage, etc.). Our goal is simple: make it easy to pick out a great doctor or health care provider online that meets all the requirements you care about. So if you’re looking for a highly-rated, female ob-gyn who accepts Blue Cross, has 10 years of experience and lives within 5 miles of your office or home – you can search on those criteria on Insider Pages and find a list of providers who meet them all. It’s a significant improvement over going to your company’s health plan website and randomly picking from a list of 3,000 providers near you. Judging on the phenomenal response we’ve gotten to our Doctor Finder it’s clear that a lot of you have been wishing you could find a doctor like this in the past. So we’re listening and trying to make the experience better and better.
We noticed that many of our visitors were looking for therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, nutritionists and personal trainers. That’s why we added the 900,000 complementary care and alternative care providers – again through our partnership with Health Grades. Clearly more of us are taking a holistic approach to our health than in the past and are assembling teams of providers that include MDs and non-MDs. You can expect to see more on this from Insider Pages in the coming months. We’ve still got a long way to go, but we feel passionate about providing the community with an objective and comprehensive forum for finding and sharing information about truly terrific health care providers. It’s an enormous help to others when you share your personal experiences with your doctors, dentists, therapists and health care providers by writing a review of them. It makes picking a doctor much less of the “blind date” experience we’ve all head selecting a doctor’s name at random from the Blue Cross website. It also helps great providers get noticed in the community. If you’ve got a wonderful doctor, specialist or other provider you can recommend, please take 5 or 10 minutes to review them on http://www.insiderpages.com! And please let us know what else you’d like to see Insider Pages do to make it easier for your to find great health care providers!
