Welcome to MedicalVoyce!

More and more these days, people are taking charge of their health care—asking questions, seeking out information and researching the health care community to find the best physicians who have the skills and knowledge they need. But patients often are frustrated by the lack of local information on major medical Web sites.

Have you visited WebMD or other medical sites, only to be disappointed that you can’t find what you’re looking for? WebMD is fine when you want to find technical information about a medical condition, but you won’t find detailed information about your doctor or prospective doctor, your insurance or the resources that are available to you in your community.

That’s where WebMD leaves off and MedicalVoyce.com begins!

Here at MedicalVoyce, we aim to provide what you need to make informed decisions about your health care. You can search for a doctor with the special knowledge you require, or you can find a primary care physician near you. You’ll find information about a doctor of your choice that goes far beyond the basics. Does your doctor take the kind of insurance you have? Just look up the physician, and you’ll have the answer.

You’ll be able to learn even more about selected doctors through the articles we’ve posted featuring local health care professionals. You’ll find information about the new techniques and technology local doctors are using to help patients recover faster, as well as their thoughts on how you can stay healthy. And you can save the results of your searches in your personal “My Doctors” tab.

We’re also featuring health care providers, including hospitals and health care organizations, and community resources so you can easily find support when you need it.

We’re constantly adding new information and interactive features to the Medical oyce public site. We want to be the one source you need for managing your health care, so let us know what you’d like to see on the site. You can e-mail your suggestions to me at jeanne@medicalvoyce.com.

Thanks for stopping by, and keep coming back!
