WebMD

They will not stop sending emails. 3-5 a day now... I have unsubscribed over and over again. I contacted their customer service... left messages... nothing. My local news station said to call the local news station of where their corporate office in NY is located and blow the mole hole into a huge mountain or try and/or try and find out just how many people they do this to daily that have requested unsubscribe and was utterly ignored... DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THEIR EMAILS! It's 3-5 a day... everyday... I am in the process of continuing to do research of what to do

Web MD One, the provider for my state health insurance called the police on me during a routine diabetes education call. They would not listen to me describe the psychological help I was getting locally and they called the police and abruptly transferred me to the national suicide hotline after I repeatedly told them not to call the police. When I got off the phone with the hotline the police were already at my door. I spent the next 6 hours in a hospital emergency room until the truth could be told and I could be released. This company specifically discriminates against those with mental illnesses, releases HIPPA protected information to the police, and is completely unscrupulous. Do not share any health information with them at all. They will use your mental health status to let the local police department detain you and send you to the emergency room at your cost. Do not trust this organization with any personal information whatsoever.

I have used WebMD every time I had symptoms and wanted to know what it might be and how serious it might be. They are knowledgeable and exact in the symptoms department. I would highly recommend them as a first source.

My husband was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and, after waiting a week for a PET scan appointment that was supposed to be at 1 pm today, he was contacted this morning by a Westmed technologist, and told that the appointment had been cancelled. Apparently, the individual who scheduled the appointment did not get the proper authorization from his insurance company in time. Additionally, someone was supposed to call him on Friday, 7/28/23, to reschedule, however no one did.

To say this is outrageous is an understatement. He needs to have this test done as soon as possible to determine if the cancer has spread, and this issue with the insurance authorization should have been settled last week, when the appointment was scheduled. Instead, the appointment was cancelled and he was told by the technologist (who called at 8:40 am the morning of the appointment) that he needed to call the doctor's office to see about getting the authorization.

Not only is this NOT his job, but I he took a day off from work and was about to drink a bottle full of barium when he got the call. He was told that once Wested gets the insurance authorization, they can squeeze him in for the following day, however nothing can be done about today's appointment, as the injection that is needed can not be ordered until there is insurance approval. Now he will have to take yet another day off from work, as the test will take a few hours.

Is this how Westmed now treats their cancer patients? His cancer could be spreading and delay can be deadly. Shame on you Westmed for treating him this way!

Although I've been disabled and unable to work, I was an RN-BSN (I still am, if you count keeping my license current as being an RN). WebMD's biggest strength in my daily life is that their medication, complementary supplements, herbs, and vitamins are so detailed. That database includes 1. Uses, 2. Potential benefits, based on research, 3. Side Effects, and 4. Interactions, among other things. They are very unbiased.
WebMD sponsors or develops a wonderful site for healthcare workers or laypeople, called Medscape. I can't describe how much you could learn from Medscape, especially if you are a doctor or healthcare worker. It is so comprehensive and peer-reviewed because of the chances for members of Medscape to comment on the articles. As I said, I LOVE WebMD!

I am not satisfied with the webmd.com site because they did not provide the quality pregnancy related information. My sister is pregnant so she do not know about the food at this pregnancy time so decided to ask the help from this site but they did not give useful information about the pregnancy.

As a nurse educator, I value the material WebMD has to offer. It is a site for critical thinking and research data for my on-line students. My students find this on-line website as a means to bring to the table (discussion group) interesting, and factual data for all students to explore. There are other sites my students also enjoy, but this is a website that is of interest for group discussions and factual information. My students take this information and find the data easier to display to their patients.

Dr. Fishbein, my dentist, did a wonderful job on my teeth. He always advised me as to what he was planning to do so that was aware of what my treatment involved. He is very considerate as to how I was feeling in the treatment chair. Very thorough and not satisfied until he thought my teeth looked perfect. Five stars!
