Camas, Wash. November 23, 2004 - When asked, "Which Specialists in your field would you consider most desirable for care of a loved one?" many doctors, though extremely busy don't hesitate to answer.MDNationwide.org randomly asked that question of 5,000 board-certified plastic surgeons nationwide With 33 percent responding and after checking our research for proper licensure status, disciplinary status, education, and training our results determined 358 top plastic surgeons in America. (See http://www.mdnationwide.org/search.php.) “We are Pleased to recognizing these surgeons as pinnacle of plastic surgeons, and we thank them for contributing a high quality of health care nationwide.” Said Hugo Gallegos, president of MDNationwide. “Choosing a well-trained, certified practitioner means you have somebody who can handle unexpected complications,” says Dr. Richard Gregory, a renowned board-certified plastic surgeon in Florida, and one of survey’s respondents. A doctor’s education, training, experience, and recognition are crucial components in receiving highest quality of health care. Experience varies from doctor to doctor, especially in today`s world where advancements in technology, lead to more advanced surgical procedures being offered. "Board-certification specialty fields are not federally regulated. Therefore, an MD who is board- certified in "surgery" can legally perform same surgical procedures as an MD who is board- certified in plastic surgery. Even an Anesthesiologists, dermatologist, or gynecologist, can legally perform plastic surgery," Says Hugo Gallegos. With plastic surgery industry booming, more doctors are going out of bounds and performing surgical procedures where their qualifications, experience, and training endanger consumer. More now than ever, consumers are researching their doctors, and demanding highest quality of health care. There is no universal agreement on how to find, best doctors, however there are establishments which, specialize in finding only top doctors. These have their own methodologies in place, some more extensive than others. There are countless online doctor directories, for which any doctor can pay to be listed. And there are establishments where consumers can check doctors’ credentials, disciplinary actions and medical doctor ratings, all of which differ from each other. “Our methodology consists of contacting only board-certified doctors throughout country and asking them: ‘Which specialists in your field would you consider most desirable for care of a loved one?’ Those doctors who are recognized most from their peers are advanced to next logistical phase, where our research team then looks through their training, education, experience, and licensure status. If they meet our in-house high company standards, their names and credentials information are then added to our Best Doctor database” explain Gallegos Because not all doctors participate in our surveys, we then communicate with medical societies, and hospitals as further research.

Camas, WA - Nov 25, 2004 - The behind scenes check doctor credentials booming business. Who really supplies doctor credential information? In 2003, there where more than 890 million doctor visits in U.S. according to (CDC) Center for Diseases Control and Prevention. "More now than ever consumers are not only researching their doctor, but are also demanding highest quality of health care" says Hugo Gallegos, President of MDNationwide.org. Check Doctor Credentials: Doctor information (reports) such as check doctor credentials, medical doctor ratings, doctor background checks , and check surgeon quality, just a few years ago scarcely existed. Most doctor credential information pertaining to disciplinary actions and so on, where kept on hush side. Now, all that has changed, consumers understand that experience varies from doctor to doctor. With more companies offering doctor credential information consumers are spending more time researching their doctors. * A doctor background check can be accomplished in a variety of ways depending what consumers wants. Example: If a consumer wants to find out if his or her doctor has ever had disciplinary actions issued against them, Federation of State Medical Boards (excluding National Practitioner Data Bank) has more doctor disciplinary report information than any other establishment in America, and cost is $9.95 per report. Pros: 1. They are undisputed heavyweights of doctor background checks for disciplinary actions. Cons: 1. They only specialize in disciplinary doctor reports. * If consumers want to view medical doctor ratings on particular doctors, their are different choices available. It is not clear what their methodology is based on, however, a popular choice seems to be Health Grades Inc. They have a wide selection of doctors nationwide to choose from, however with such an enormous database, you might want to double check your info for accuracy. Pros: 1. A huge medical doctor ratings database, bigger selection of doctors Cons: 1. Methodologies are not clear 2. Database is so big that keeping updated information is nearly impossible.
