He said he was a Doctor
December 21, 2015

I could not afford to go to a Doctor with a problem I was having so I went to WebMD to see what I could do to resolve the problem. After I asked the question, the answer I got "give us money first (credit card info) then we will answer" I left the sight. About a week later I got an e-mail from some guy who said he was a doctor and gave me info I already knew and that was the end of it. For all I know, he could have been the janitor. Don't waste you time or money there.

How many years I suffered from chronic urinary track infections. I saw various doctors who were unable to help me. It was not until I started treating with Dr. Manish Gopal that I was able to get relief. Thanks to Dr Gopal I have not had a urinary tract infection for over a year. Dr. Gopal took the time to listen to my complaints and symptoms. He always answered my questions and explained what he thought I should do. I highly recommend Dr Gopal he and his office staff are great.

I'm not sure that they even know that this false information exists on their website. There is an article claiming that the Continuous Glucose Monitor is covered and aprroved by Medicare. This is a cruel hoax on type-one insulin dependent diabetics. My husband spent several days between elation and deflation, arguing with medical authorities. The article is only accessible after reaching the website, www.webmd.com, then retyping www.diabetes.webmd.com/continuous-glucose-monitoring. He found it from some link on the internet. Since Medicare is clear about not covering the CGM, the article should be altered to the truth or taken off of the internet altogether. I do believe that the website is an unreliable source of information.

I greatly appreciate the info I seek on WebMD. However, when I started to look at WebMD for healthy ways to improve my diet I was overwhelmed with up to 7 e-mails a day. While it may not seem like a lot it adds up very quickly. I have become hesitant to even click on WebMD because I don't want to have them take control of my email again.

I have used WebMD many times. I go to it when I need to do some quick research for an article. I check information against other sources, and I have found WebMD to be one of the most accurate health websites.

Not recomended
June 5, 2018

You are often snot tomb Web MD when surching for anything medical. Once there it is impossible to get any information because ads are continuously popping up and sending you to other sites. I close out when I see Web MD.

A few days ago I was experiencing some abdominal pain thinking it may have been bad gas, or something bad I ate it wasn't given much thought. When it wasn't getting any better I looked up my symptoms on the "Symptom Checker" on WebMD. Within just a few clicks of the symptoms I was experiencing at the time it said to seek medical attention right away! Then I drove myself to the local ER where I learned that I had appendicitis and had to have my appendix removed if I had not it would have been too late.
Thanks, WebMD

They have a horrifying, disgusting article up about infant circumcision. It's full of misinformation that can be very damaging. The bottom line is basically that infants don't have bodily autonomy and circumcision isn't harmful.

Circumcision is extremely harmful, not only physically but psychologically as well. It's a barbaric practice that should NOT be inflicted on any baby today. No one should be having a body part removed off of someone who can't consent. Girls are protected from genital mutilation, boys should be too.

Webmd, I suggest you take that harmful article down and educate yourselves before saying anything else about circumcision. Please, you could be an influencing factor as to why more baby boys are hurt with this horrific practice.

Do you really want that kind of blood on your hands? Get with the times, removing a vital body part for no good reason should NOT be considered a medical procedure. There are absolutely zero benefits to circumcision, and even if there IS any small benefit, the cons far outweigh the pros.

There are a lot of ads on WebMD, but it still remains a reliable source for health information online. I don't google health information any longer because I don't trust most websites, but WebMD has real physicians reviewing content. Other good health websites are the Mayo Institute and Revolution Health.

In the past I have had problems with hypertension, sluggish thyroid, vericose veins and shingles and depression and anxiety... weight gain and other human conditions and WebMd always has a answer and I got to my local doctor(S) and use the information provided by WebMd to let the doctor know of my health concerns.
So far my wife and I are satisfied with WebMD

Saved my life
August 8, 2016

I know you shouldn't rely on the internet when it comes to medical problems, but I checked my symptoms on WebMD and it literally saved my life. I was rushed to the hospital with a lungembolism.

Thanks WebMD :)

WebMD does not have the latest info about identifying your prescription meds based on their pill markings. I've found that Drugs.com has more current info.

I am a healthcare provider and have had false reviews posted on the internet. I contacted WebMD five times via their web site contact page, mailed them a letter, called them twice (no ability to speak to a live person or leave a message), and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. WebMD did not respond to two inquiries from the BBB. I have now filed a complaint with two accrediting agencies for WebMD and am awaiting a response.
