About Medical Information on the Internet

 

The Internet is a wonderful source of information, especially medical and scientific intormation. However, when your health is involved, it is very important to be sure about the reliability of the information you are accessing.  Dr. Stuart is very much in favor of helping his patients to be well informed about their health.  It is too bad that so many of the medical resources on the 'net are bogus or are just motivated to sell you a product.  Often you can't tell if the information is from a legitimate source that wants to help you, or from some 13 year-old computer geek that is malicious.

 

Fortunately there are many good, reliable sources of medical information available for patients.  We have listed some of the better ones below for your use.

 

Dr. Koop's Web site--from the former Surgeon General. 

 

 

Ask Dr. Weil--Blends traditional medicine with holistic and natural solutions.

 

 Web MD    Provides medical information and services for consumers, physicians, and other health providers.

 

 

 

Healthfinder  --This is a service of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

 

 

 

    The Mayo Clinic Health Resources on the Web

 

 

     Familydoctor.org from the American Academy of Family Physicians (Highly Recommended)
