What are the best Web sites for finding a doctor?
Mehmet Oz, MD, Cardiology, answered
The Internet is the fastest, easiest modern medium for finding the needle-in-a-haystack doctor who's a perfect match for you. These seven sites are good choices, though some cater to certain specialties. Finding a particular doctor listed on two or more is a good sign.

What are the advantages of choosing a compassionate doctor?
Dede Bonner, Health Education, answered
An important piece of your ability to trust a doctor is his or her interest in you as a person. This is not to suggest that you want to be ‘bosom buddies’ (sorry for the bad pun), but it shows how curious this doctor is about you as a unique person. A doctor who is open to learning new things is more likely to be more intelligent, competent, and willing to support you on a personal as well as medical basis.

What is a healthcare provider?
John J. Connolly, Healthcare Insurance & Policy, answered on behalf of Castle Connolly Medical Ltd.
The term provider is generally applied to any person who provides healthcare: doctors, nurses, podiatrists, chiropractors, etc. However, many physicians do not appreciate being labeled providers.
