Where Can You Find a Reliable Doctor?

Twelve years ago, I was diagnosed with epilepsy. Nobody knows better than I do how important it is to visit reliable doctors who are dependable and trustworthy. Word of mouth is a form of review that has helped me quite a bit over the course of time. But prior to talking with other disabled people in grocery stores, I did have several problems with unreliable doctors.

Fortunately, I can say medical patients seeking reliable medical help at this point in time can use online services from Vitals to help find a doctor. Vitals can be described as an online resource to help people find and connect with doctors. Vitals helps you find the doctor you need, check up on your doctor, and rate your doctor based on his or her performance. By examining what others have said about a doctor, it provides a form of word-of-mouth credibility.

In 1999 when I was initially diagnosed with epilepsy, I was seeing 12 different doctors at one point! There were several doctors I was very disappointed with. The only reason why the hospital sent me to those doctors was because of geography. In other words, I was sent to the doctors closest to home. This was unfortunate, because it was these neurologists that disappointed me the most.

When the total number of doctors I annually visited was eventually reduced to three, I was still seeing the disappointing neurologists closest to home. This particular man and his sister were both neurologists and they were only in it for the money. Very few questions were asked by these uncaring doctors, which is why very few useful observations were made by these doctors. Seeing these doctors was never helpful in any way because of their lack of passion for the industry they were involved in.

Thankfully, most doctors in most fields of medicine care about their patients and enjoy helping them. But in the world we live in, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If one of your doctors is doing a bad job, it means all other doctors will have a difficult time helping you. This is the whole reason why you are sent to see medical specialists. 

Vitals is an online medical resource I definitely know I can trust. I thought it was very interesting that so many people visit the Vitals website. The website says yesterday there were 258,499 doctors examined on the website. This motivated me to examine the neurologists from Port Huron, Michigan that I was very disappointed with.

Sure enough, Vitals showed a review of these particular doctors. The Blue Water Neurology Clinic is rated only one out of four stars – the lowest rating possible. In every way possible, I would agree with the ratings and reviews of Vitals. Here is what Vitals had to say about The Blue Water Neurology Clinic:

Ease of Appointment: 3 out of 4
Courteous Staff: 4 out of 4
Accurate Diagnosis: 1 out of 4 – the lowest rating possible
Bedside Manner: 1 out of 4 – the lowest rating possible
Spends Time With Me: 1 out of 4 –the lowest rating possible
Follow Up: 1 out of 4 – the lowest rating possible

My mother and I agree with this information from Vitals in every possible way! The office staff at the Blue Water Neurology Clinic is actually very nice, as the 4 of 4 rating shows. It is relatively easy to schedule an appointment, which is probably why there is a rating of 3 of 4. But everything associated with doctors at Blue Water Neurology Clinic shows a very poor rating of only 1 of 4. The Blue Water Neurology Clinic is rated only 1 of 4 stars by Vitals.

Twelve years ago, when I was diagnosed with epilepsy, I would have gladly used Vitals as a medical resource to help me find reliable doctors. The neurologist I currently see is further away, but has helped me very much in life. My doctor currently is rated 4 of 4 – the highest rating possible on Vitals. Based on my experience as a patient, I can say this impressive review of my current neurologist is very accurate.

Overall, I can say the Vitals website is definitely a medical resource I will use in the future! I rate Vitals a 4 of 4 – the highest rating possible. If you need to visit a doctor, I strongly suggest you use the Vitals website to examine the doctor you will be visiting. Please feel free to share your thoughts about the Vitals website.
