Family Triumphs in Search for Doctor: Turns Experience Into Free Resource for Finding Remarkable Doctors

After a difficult search for a doctor for their daughter, the Bachus family realized the need for patients to easily access other patient's positive experiences. They created an online non-profit program, RemarkableDocs.org, for patient-to-patient doctor recommendations, providing a free resource for helping people find remarkable doctors.

Grass Valley, CA (PRWEB) December 6, 2004 -- The Bachus family searched for a year to find the right doctor to treat their daughters orthopedic condition. After countless opinions, they were frustrated by the process and not satisfied with possible courses of treatment. Then they found a medical paper published on the Internet by a doctor, who became their daughter's surgeon and a remarkable doctor to their family.

Through this search, the family realized the need for people to easily share their positive doctor recommendations with others. With help from talented people, and extensive research and development, RemarkableDocs was launched. The non-profit program provides individuals a free resource for recommending and finding a doctor. Patients who have had a positive experience with a doctor can register their doctor through the online database. With these valuable recommendations, subsequent patients can search for a doctor by location, specialty or physician name.    

Built on the concept of community, the site uses technology as the bridge to connect people in need of medical care with in-depth positive perspectives from patients-specifically a personal description of their remarkable experience with a certain doctor. This, in turn, creates a vital community of support for those facing medical challenges.

Research shows that many people choose their doctors based on recommendations from other patients, and many people have positive doctor recommendations they are willing to share," said Sonja Bachus. Based on this research and our own experience, we created RemarkableDocs so anyone searching for a doctor could have access to this powerful resource."

In order to ultimately provide a comprehensive resource for the entire nation, the organization is encouraging everyone to register positive doctor recommendations on the site as soon as possible.

To register a positive doctor recommendation, visit the organizations website at www.remarkabledocs.org. RemarkableDocs strives to include accurate and up-to-date doctor information in its database. All doctor registrations are reviewed before inclusion in the database, and then again on a yearly basis to check license status and accuracy of contact information. The site is maintained through individual, foundation and corporate donations.
