Medical Information Websites

 

   

       

       The following is an brief list of some web site that we believe to be reliable. The information they provide appears to be scientifically accurate most or all of the time.  This distinction represents our professional opinion arrived at after reviewing articles and information posted on these sites, and may not represent the opinion of any medical society, agency, or group. Reliable medical web sites can be a valuable source of  information, while bad sites may contain misinformation which can lead to confusion.  Information from these sites should never be used as the sole basis for medical decision making, but should be used only as an educational tool. Please consult your physician regarding any actual medical problems and review any information with him/her.

Note :  It is our opinion that alternative medicine has little scientific evidence to back the claims associated with it and therefore cannot be endorsed at this time. As a result we do not recommend any web sites that deal exclusively with alternative medicine. Some of the web sites listed above do have pages that cover this topic. Our practice does not endorse this information and considers these treatments unproven and potentially unsafe. As a policy we will only endorse treatments that have a sound basis in controlled scientific studies.
