"The experts are great until they have a case that is unusual. " I was so pissed by this I created a way to find experts. People that actually studied the issue, have actual publish papers on the topic. What I found was no one cared. No one wanted "experts" - they want a specialist that is in their network and close. Example of searching for mohs surgury. https://www.opendoctor.io/research/?research_papers=mohs&zip=32766&search=search https://www.opendoctor.io/research/?research_papers=mohs&zip...

Interesting service, thanks for sharing. I think most people are looking for their GP to be able to refer them to the correct specialist which seems fair. It shouldn’t be on the patient to try to find them. But good website nonetheless! (FYI it doesn’t display great on mobile Safari - content too wide so there is horizontal scrolling).

If this is in the US it would make sense that people are really bound by their insurance provider as to who they are allowed to see cheaply.

I've often been struck dumb by the passive nature of so many people when facing health problems. My dad had multiple myeloma and was satisfied with local hosp. Nope. Made him go to Yale and the Dana Farber. He got the best care possible. I struggled with back pain and told to go to a neurologist and informed my GP where I would and wouldn't go. The doc I was referred to was a no-go since I know him personally and he's a lying piece of shit in his personal life, I'm not trusting him with my back! Docs could NOT understand. "But he's so nice." Screw that. Time and again, family and friends settle. I understand the insurance component, but even then, can you not find better? And thank you for your work. It's very cool.

Very cool resource, bookmarked. I hope I don't need it anytime soon, and I hope it's still there when I do.
