Googling Your Doctor

February 24, 2009 – 03:23 by Dani Iswara. Words count: 139.

People try to find their doctor by Googling (search using Google) on the Internet more often. Looking for physician’s address, phone number, rate by patients, doctor’s website, weblog, Facebook, patient’s review, clinical practice time, specialty, etc.

Sometimes Google show a scientific paper, personal blog, or hospital address related to the doctor on the first page result. Should physician build the simple technology of personal blog for their branding?

Why don’t physician making a web page or weblog with the details of address, phone number, price, service, insurance, and hours? Consumers would be happy with that. In Indonesia, ethical is still the problem. See on SEO vs Physician Marketing (in bahasa Indonesia).

The classical way, to find your best doctor, just asking your close friend to recommend a doctor. :)
Healthcare is changing. How to address the needs of consumers?

    anton,
    sorry mas, held for moderation..
    this story would be useful for the health providers to promote their services since physicians have an ethical problem to do their own promotion

    Salam kenal sejawat.
    Info dari sejawat sungguh suatu hal yang nyata di luar negara kita. Lalu kapan ya kita sampai ke masa itu, dimana kita dapat berinteraksi secara online dengan pasien dan bisa berbagi untuk menolong bangsa kita sendiri. Sebelumnya terima kasih atas kunjungan saudara ke blog kita, mohon saran untuk perbaikan kontens kita ini.

    Internet itu media yang dapat dimamfaatkan untuk membantu hajat orang banyak – khususnya dalam ilmu kesehatan. Namun, belakangan ini saya sering mendegar hal-hal yg kurang memuaskan atas tindakan dokter2 di beberapa daerah, Medan & Jakarta (semuanya berdasarkan pengalaman pribada & teman).

    Menyedihkan bukan? Hingga hal-hal yang kurang diobservasi mampu memvonis pasien! Ah, akhirnya lari keluar negeri lagi.

    Lah, kok curhat ya?
    Tapi rekomendasi dari teman2 sangat layak dipertimbangkan.

    Salam kenal Doc,

    Dr Murid,

    Ronald Rianda,
    moga aja yg di dunia nyata ngga kejadian di virtual, tp harapannya malah bisa saling melengkapi, bang

    Fadly Muin,
    so, the code of ethics should also change and adapt in accordance with the trends

    mdh2n internet bbrp tahun kedepan semakin berkembng dan para masyarakat dipinggirin kota atau di desa yang terpencil bisa ikut2n mengaksesnya..
    Tapi ada kemungkinan gak kalo praktek dokter jadi sepi?

    Aulia,
    kl sepi krn masyarakatnya makin sehat, bagus lah :D
    tp face-to-face dokter-pasien ngga akan tergantikan total..

    Hi
    I think it is good idea with this web page or web blog to find Doctor by Googling.
    In fact people need information, anything about Doctor or medical.
    So people can keep their time and go to the right place.
    Nice to meet you.
