New web site gives patients the upper hand of receiving medical care as if they were family members of doctors.

Boca Raton, FL (MMD Newswire) January 29, 2009 -- A group of American board-certified medical doctors have launched a Web site designed to give anyone with a medical question the chance to receive VIP medical advice, medical recommendations and medical information from  specialized medical doctors.  

Lance Cohen, MD created www.AskTheMedicalSpecialist.com to give everyone the chance to ask a medical question directly and privately to a panel of hand picked medical doctors.

“Doctors and their families receive better medical care than the general population,” says Dr. Cohen.  “Knowing what questions to ask, double checking the treatments that are recommended to you, knowing your choices when you are told you need a procedure – ultimately empowers you as a patient and as a consumer. This knowledge leads to better and safer health care for you and your family. We want our customers to feel as if they have a doctor in the family and that they have another set of eyes looking over their medical care.”

Dr Cohen continues, "My colleagues and I have countless stories of how we prevented a potential disaster after we reviewed medical care, treatment and advice that were given to our family members. It is estimated that close to a 100,000 Americans die each year not from their medical conditions, but from preventable medical errors."

To ask a medical question, a patient enters www.AskTheMedicalSpecialist.com and then asks a question, chooses a specialist, registers and submits their question directly to that doctor. The doctor reviews the question and returns the information and recommendations to the patients secure account within 48 hours. The patient is then notified that their question has been answered and simply has to log back into their secure account to view the answer. Patient’s answers are never made public unless permission is given. The patient then has the opportunity to ask one follow-up question if needed.

"I would definitely use Ask The Medical Specialist again and I have recommended this service to friends. I not only received accurate medical information, I also received invaluable suggestions from a caring physician - suggestions that you do not find in any text. The doctors are real, they are highly qualified and are American board certified (I checked!). I had previously visited other sites where a 'doctor' would answer questions - however there was no way of knowing if there was a real doctor sitting on the other side of the computer and what their credentials were! I recommend this service without any reservation." John F, a satisfied customer from California.
