Ask a Doctor

This web site does not provide medical advice or medical diagnosis. Nevertheless, online medical advice may be desired by people in some situations, such as with the issue of cost, embarassment of discussing symptoms or feelings, or practical issues with regard to transport. Some patients feel that they simply do not get enough time with their doctor in a face-to-face consultation, and may feel that they are left with no avenue to ask all their questions.

Although this web site does not provide this service, there are several vendors that do provide online medical advice. Advertisements for some such providers are listed below. We have no particular information as to the quality of these services, and do not endorse these services. We also recommend you read our article on the Pitfalls of Online Medical Diagnosis.
