AskMED.com - online doctor-patient portal. An online tool that helps connect patients with doctors, AskMED is a robust database of physicians, dentists, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals. The application bridges the gap between the doctor’s office and the patient’s home computer or handheld device, speeding the process of researching professional credentials, experience, and ratings for fast and hassle-free decision making. Each day, over 3,000 people are in search of a doctor, medical service or procedure with no proven system for finding one other than relying on referrals or taking a chance on phone listings. AskMED is a new, powerful and simple way for prospective patients to find a doctor or medical service. Through AskMED, they can easily search by specialty, insurance type, name, language, location and more, significantly shortening the time and effort required to find the care they need. The AskMED service stores a vast array of physician information, such as employment history, education, residency, fellowships, honors and more, along with photos, videos and articles, giving prospective patients a clearer idea of a doctor’s credentials and practice. Patients can book appointments as well as have direct contact with the physician’s office through AskMED. AskMED doubles as an effective marketing tool for healthcare professionals as well. Physician partners receive their own website where they can host the AskMED application with no effort on their part. Setup and management are provided, giving doctors access to an ever wider pool of potential patients. Doctors can earn a percentage from advertisements and can pay to have their profile more visible to searchers in their area.
