Been to WEB MD many times with questions about my own body and those of loved ones. Always had easy to understand information. Many doctors (live-not online) try to discourage their patients from seeking info online, but I have found that WEB MD's info isn't worst-case-scenario-first info, but level-headed facts or opinions. Of course, depending upon what info you put in their search engine, the results could differ. I consider it to be top-of-the-line in medical information provided online.

Dr James Gregory is the one to go to if you want no care or concern. He is available for same day appointments because I guess the word is out on his approach. My stoic fit 92 year old mother was exposed to his brand of first do harm medicine. She arrived with what she told him was 12 pain on 1-10 scale. We had to fight for two days to get Tylenol with codeine. Because his "policy is no pain Rx unless you have surgery." It took ten phone calls. His complete indifference, his no rush order of MRI that then did not image the spine, let me count the ways. I only wish we could rate him Negative 5. He does not deserve a one rating. Cannot understand why he chose medicine as a profession. He is a perfect bureaucrat in some hellish office. I can only hope that his karma is he encounters the same care he did not give to my fabulous mother when he too has 12 point pain on a 10 point scale. His speciality is elbows. And he is smugly a year out of medical school. It was a devastating experience to be his patient. My mother has multiple hairline fractures of the lumbar spine. He imaged the hip. And it took a week to image the correct area. Guess that is what an elbow specialist can do. Run from this guy.

A few days ago I was experiencing some abdominal pain thinking it may have been bad gas, or something bad I ate it wasn't given much thought. When it wasn't getting any better I looked up my symptoms on the "Symptom Checker" on WebMD. Within just a few clicks of the symptoms I was experiencing at the time it said to seek medical attention right away! Then I drove myself to the local ER where I learned that I had appendicitis and had to have my appendix removed if I had not it would have been too late.
Thanks, WebMD

His office staff extremely RUDE! I offered to pay cash up front for my 29 year old daughter to be examined for possible skin cancer. Me a concerned mom! I was told he don't accept ANY patients that are not covered by health insurance. Due to Obama care she has extremely poor health insurance and is reluctant to get medical attention. I'm able to afford to pay out of pocket but this Jerk won't see her!

I've used Web MD for several years now to begin researching medical issues, conditions, and treatments. Serious reactions to some prescriptions brought me there. It's difficult for a lay person to read peer reviewed medical articles without a strong background, so I begin with these folks. I check out the abstracts for some of the bibliographies for leads to more detailed information. Sometimes this highlights questions I've overlooked. Their herbal info is pretty good as are their write-ups on pharmaceuticals.
