WebMD

I am writing this review from the point of view of a medical provider and advertiser. Sales presentation was duplicitous (used car lot process), started charging me before profiles were even close to ready, their websites never worked, links did not work, scheduling did not work, received only two patients after spending over $1000 with them, did not return emails promptly (if at all), refused to return phone calls, extremely unprofessional, no follow up in terms of correcting WebMD profiles. Extremely frustrating working with folks who cannot tell the truth. I would call their company a complete scam. Never, never, never advertise with these people. They are absolutely not to be trusted. There are much better ways to be found online. Recommend you stay away from them. Word to the wise…

There are no options for intersex in the symptom checker neither are there any mention of how symptoms might present on intersex people on any webmd article ive read, so i have to use male or female but these results wont be accurate because sex has an important role in how symptoms present for different health issues. And this discrimination affects over 1% of our population, that's as many intersex people as there are red heads, so this is not a small oversight from a supposed medical website.

The website contains helpful information about a variety of health topics. While there are more reliable websites, WebMD is a good starting place to find useful health information. I haven't always found the symptom checker helpful, which isn't intended as a diagnostic tool but does present several potential conditions to help narrow down the possibilities. Thanks to the symptom checker, I began to suspect I had appendicitis the other night and went to the hospital ER where I had an appendectomy. My experience gave me a new appreciation for WebMD.

So if you are wanting to use webmd for their suboxone clinic don't pharmacies won't fill unless in person visit or dr is within 50 miles ect. The dr was great and was easy to get through the process. I was wanting to do it this way because the I person. Office was a councilor visits once a week and two dr. Visits at first so in one month I would pay $180 trying to save money. Well so much for that.

If you need a talented, kind and professional practice
I highly recommend. Dr el-attar at derma laser center

His staff and service and follow up is amazing
Not what you normally find these days in the medical field

From the perspective of a medical provider, I was locked into a contract and told that the site would have great visibility and lead to prospective patient encounters. Ive had 2 patients from this site in 5 months actually be seen. The content is nice but there arent enough patients seeing this website to find me or at least they are going to other sites where they make the decision to make an appointment. I would not renew a contract or sign up for it in hindsight, they wont modify your contract despite clear evidence they are not successfully helping you.

I checked a dentists reviews. The dentist had about 60 reviews on the very first day on Web MD. One day mind you. Then there were several reviews the dentist for for 5 years. Now there have been no, o, reviews at all for 3 years for this dentist on Web MD, that is, ever since the dentist responded to a negative review. Did the dentist stop paying his subscription fees to Web MD?. This is a disgusting, untruthful site to search professional reviews and ratings.
As far as articles, the recent one on IV Ketamine therapy for pai, It appears to have been paid for advertising giving false hope to patients. Insurance does not cover IV Ketamine therapy for pain. Someone should investigate Web MD o this article. Please do that and have them take their article off the site.

I am a female doctor with Wheatland Internal Medicine Clinic, https://wheatlandimc.com
I have reached out to WebMD to update my new address for a while but they still have my old address, has some male photo of me which is ridiculous. WebMD is not reliable as they have outdated providers information for patients to trust.

Dr. Stovroff is an amazing doctor/surgeon. He has a wonderfully warm personality, he's upbeat, and is easy to speak with. He is helpful in resolving whatever health issue your child is having. He is an excellent surgeon with a caring bedside manner going above and beyond to answer questions and do everything he can to make your child recover fully and ease the minds of their parents.

I just saw a video of the CEO threatening his employees to return to the office and not work from home. They had other people on there as well, it was like a hostage video with fake smiles. Blink twice if you need help. Not using webmd anymore. EVERYDAY HEALTH here I come!

In a recent review, WebMD recommended folic acid for pregnant people. Implying that men have a womb and carry carry a developing fetus. This site is apparent run by educated doctors. This is a untrue. Any doctor should know that biological fact; XX not XY

From WebMD: December 5,2022 - Folic acid is also available as a supplement, and is often used in combination with other B vitamins. Folic acid is used for preventing and treating low blood levels of folate (folate deficiency) and high blood levels of homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia). People who are pregnant or might become pregnant take folic acid to prevent serious birth defects such as spina bifida.

Im going out on a limb here but I suspect this site is in cahoots with big pharma and ironically I did read something about this online but cant confirm its true but you just never know. Its a decent site but its kind of odd that a few of the drug reviews listed started off with the highest rated category/use for the drug but not all of them so the jury is still out. Natural supplements are reviewed as well but maybe they dont get the same respect since big pharma does have a bunch of money and clout. Personally, I think meds should be rated lowest to highest so you know the worst case scenario, because I nearly died from careless prescribing of meds and its kind of ruined my life.

This site is too complicated for non -medical persons. It needs to list all generic equivalent medications in the same " class" of drugs so people can save tons of money. I may be thinking of Drugs.com where you can see if your medications have interactions with Over the Counter medications and so on. Too bad they do not include all the ones on the recall list or the ones in class action lawsuits here. Great Site for most who need to study what they do not know. But the constant emails are a headache.

WebMD has in my experience with using them have always had a very narrow perspective of any alternative treatment for any sickness or bodily malfunction. I do not adhere to anything that WebMD recommends. I find them extremely suspect.

My company hired WebMD for marketing services on two different occasions both times they lied about the leads they were sending to us. We called a few leads and they asked how did you even get my information. WebMDs marketing department are liars and garbage at what they do. Bad business.

My review is on the office assistant for Dr. Price, Caroline. She is unhelpful, no follow-up on her part. My husband who has MS and requires medications for the rest of his life to be renewed annually in April. He sees Dr. Price at the very least every January/February for his annual visit. It takes a good month (30+ days) for a new prescription to be faxed to the Specially Pharmacist, then to be clarified, then other reasons it may not be accepted. Call Caroline, she promises to send a message to the Dr. Does not follow up with patient regarding any updates. Is unwilling to call the Pharmacist herself to see what they need.
We have been with the Hartford Neurology practice for 15 years and have dealt with different Dr. Assistants over the years but Caroline is the absolute most inexperienced thus far. I can't imagine if we needed anything more from Dr. Price's office other than an annual visit and a prescription refill.

Webmd is a very biased company, they are basically (seem as if) part of the advertising branch of drug companies, and have a reputation for being that biased. Almost all of there articles are pushing artificial medicine as being safe and "regular" even though there are many other forms. I read a article aimed at teenagers and it was very biased concerning some emotional topics and actually sped out false information. They seem to embody something of a very unapproachable and non-understanding type.
They will unlikely approach topics with a clear view. All they say should not be understood to any extent as facts. I have left the reviewing of this company for as it is, any good review I discuss about this company would only appear after a massive turnover of the company.
