MDSearchEngine.com Eases Doctor-Search Malaise

Online, December 1, 2009 (Newswire.com) - (Studio City, Calif.) - MDSearchEngine.com, a new Web site and marketing tool that connects patients with physicians, promises to be a valuable resource for both parties as the face of healthcare changes.

Providing intuitive search functionality for patients and a communication platform for physicians; MDSearchEngine.com is poised to serve the surge of new individuals expected from the government's latest health care reforms.

"With the passing of the new healthcare plan likely, there will be more prospective patients looking for an easy way to find doctors, and doctors need to be online and searchable to find them," said Dave Abelson, CEO and co-founder of MD Search Engine and vice president of Seed Corn Advertising, its parent company. "MDSearchEngine.com allows doctors to promote themselves in a more meaningful way than a generic search engine or a mass listing from an insurance company."

The site was created to allow users (potential patients) to go beyond names and addresses in the Yellow Pages to find the right physicians for their medical situation. MDSearchEngine.com provides critical details about doctors all in one place, including their education, specialties, locations and insurance types accepted.

It is estimated that when the plan passes, roughly 50 million more people across the United States will have access to healthcare coverage and will be seeking out physicians to fit their needs. MDSearchEngine.com allows physicians to tap into this market and grow their practices by letting them build their own Web sites, choose their URL and set up professional e-mail accounts for their entire staff. Set-up is simple and takes only minutes.
Nearly 1 million North American doctors across every specialty are currently listed on the site. Doctors pay a small monthly or annual fee for the premium features which include prominent placement, links to their web site and full contact information.

Abelson says this affordable way for physicians to promote their services not only levels the playing field for those with smaller practices and/or limited resources, but also helps educate users to a wider range of healthcare choices.

"With such an important decision as choosing a reputable health care professional for your family," says Abelson, "it's important that you find the right person for the job."

MDSearchEngine.com is a tool for doctors to increase their online presence and for patients to make educated choices about selecting their physicians. More information can be found at www.MDSearchEngine.com .
