More than 1,000 physician profiles available throughout Northeast Wisconsin

APPLETON, WI—Mike Zielinski, Founder and CEO of rightdoc.com, announced the company has established relationships with leading healthcare systems throughout Northeast Wisconsin. The agreements will provide consumers access to profiles on more than 1,000 doctors, dentists and chiropractors.

The service allows consumers to connect with doctors via profiles containing selection criteria important to their individual lifestyle. The internet-based system provides information on doctors cataloged by experience, knowledge in a specific specialty, insurances they accept, and skills and strengths they possess. Participating physicians may also be selected based on patient and peer recommendations.

The following healthcare networks and organizations have partnership agreements with rightdoc.com:

· Prevea Health: rightdoc.com is providing all of its physician information including biographical information and photos for more than 200 providers. Prevea is headquartered in Green Bay.

· Bellin Health Care Systems: rightdoc.com is providing all of its physician information including biographical information and photos for more than 450 providers. Additionally, the site will provide consumers videos on selected physicians. Bellin is headquartered in Green Bay.

· ThedaCare: rightdoc.com is providing all of its physician information including biographical information and photos for more than 550 providers. ThedaCare is headquartered in Appleton and serves residents throughout northeast Wisconsin.

· Orthopedic & Sports Institute of the Fox Valley: rightdoc.comis providing all of its physician information including biographical information, photos, and videos for all 12 physicians. Orthopedic & Sports Institute of the Fox Valley is based in Appleton.

· Fox Valley Plastic Surgery: rightdoc.com is providing all of its physician information including biographical information and photos for three plastic surgeons. Fox Valley Plastic Surgery has locations in Oshkosh and Appleton.

· Schubbe Resch Chiropractic & Physical Therapy: rightdoc.comis providing biographical information and photos for its seven chiropractors. Schubbe Resch Chiropractic & Physical Therapy has locations in Neenah and Appleton.

According to Zielinski, rightdoc.com is attractive to healthcare systems because it puts information at the fingertips of consumers. “Consumers can easily search any one of 93 specialties or search for a physician by name and learn where they studied, how many years they’ve been in practice and recommendations,” Zielinski said. The site gives consumers the option to browse the information or to set up an individual profile, and charges no user fees.

Additionally, rightdoc.com allows healthcare practitioners to also post recommendations for their peers. “What is stronger than a peer recommendation,” Zielinski asked. “The goal is to get patients to the most relevant information so they can make an informed health care choice.”
According to partners, rightdoc.com works in conjunction with their online communications. “Along with supplying a great deal of objective information about doctors, they focus on the positive, allowing patient endorsements instead of reviews and ratings which can easily be skewed,” said Tom Arndt, chief market development officer at Bellin Health.

Specialty physicians say they value a relationship with rightdoc.com because it provides consumers with credible endorsements. “Our online presence needs to immediately inform patients of our difference in comparison to others who don’t have the credentialing and training to provide the best care,” said Dr. David Janssen, Fox Valley Plastic Surgery.

Zielinski, a former physical therapist, founded rightdoc.com in 2009 with partners including physicians, nurses and other medical practitioners. “All of us had clinical experience and we knew first-hand the questions patients asked when looking for providers,” Zielinski said. Zielinski worked for several years to build a website with the capabilities to create provider profiles that were comprehensive, but easy to use.
