"In The News"

We are pleased to announce the upcoming launch of a new feature on our site: "In The News" helps identifies doctors, dentists, therapists, and others who are mentioned in the news. We currently index about 700 news publishers and scan for names of providers. For examples of providers who we have identified in the news, follow us on Twitter.

We have worked on this feature for over a year, and are glad to finally release it. We hope identification of providers in the news help give patients additional context about providers that they might choose to seek treatment from. Many times, the news articles might be asking a provider for some thoughts about a certain topic: that might suggest that that provider is recognized as an expert in his or her field. Some news articles might talk about accomplishments that a provider has achieved, and some other news articles might talk about scandals that the provider has been a part of. Sometimes, there are personal notes that have been publicly reported (e.g. a wedding announcement). We hope users find this feature helpful.
