NEW YORK, May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- (www.myprgenie.com) -- Castle Connolly, a leading healthcare research, information and publishing company today announced the launch of its newly redesigned website at www.castleconnolly.com. The updated website is focused on empowering consumers in their search for America's Top Doctors and hospitals.
The website's functional and design upgrades will now allow Castle Connolly to provide consumers with a more intuitive healthcare search engine by simplifying the search for doctors and hospitals. The upgraded "Find a Top Doctor" search functionality has been altered so that consumers can effortlessly access information regarding the right Top Doctors and Top Hospitals relevant to their needs. Users can search the national database of over 26,000 Top Doctors for free and view partial doctor profiles as well as complete information on profiled partner doctors. The database includes 2,000 areas of special expertise and 1,800 hospitals to search from in order to identify the most appropriate Top Doctor that fits consumers' individualized needs. This is the same database that determines which doctors are included in acclaimed lists such as New York Magazine's "Best Doctors" issue.
In addition to the new simple three step search function, other upgrades to the website include:
"Healthcare reform is a hot topic these days and it is making people realize that they need to be their own best healthcare advocates, but the first step to becoming a focused healthcare consumer is knowing where to look for the right medical care. From identifying top physicians in their area to determining which specialist across the country is the Top Doctor in a specific field of medicine, our new website has consumers covered," he added.
The new site also allows users to follow Castle Connolly through social media networks on their Facebook and Twitter pages, and is accessible on mobile devices.
Consumers can also access complete profiles on every doctor in Castle Connolly's online database for an annual membership fee ($24.95) or purchase the company's "America's Top Doctors" guide ($34.95) now in its ninth edition. Castle Connolly also offers special products such as corporate memberships and The Doctor-Patient Advisor program, a focused, highly personalized service providing one-on-one consultations to individuals with complex medical problems, or anyone who needs assistance finding the right doctor.
