Word from our President
Fall 2013
I experienced first-hand how important the Best Docs Network is for
those needing to find the right doctor.
A few years ago my son, who at the time
was 3 years old, had what my wife and
I thought was a sty on his eye. After
taking our son to his pediatrician, we
were told it wasn’t a sty and the doctor
referred us to a pediatric ophthalmologist. This is when we wished we had
a resource like the Best Docs Network.
With my wife busy with our newborn,
I took our son to the referred pediatric
ophthalmologist. I could not even pronounce his diagnosis, and the doctor
said our son had to be put to sleep for
major surgery. I was informed to check
with the receptionist on our way out
to schedule a date for surgery. I was
stunned. Just like that, not knowing
anything about this doctor I was expected to have her perform a major operation on our son.
When I returned home, my wife had
a lot of questions about the doctor and
the practice, so we went to the computer to find answers. First, we Googled
the doctor, and we were only able to
find where she went to school and who
was a part of her practice. This vague information was not good enough for us.
While she seemed nice, we needed to be
put at ease when talking about operating on our 3-year-old son. We continued
to do our homework and found another
doctor who does the same procedure.
However, what made this doctor stand
out was the video on his website where
he actually talked about the procedure.
This gave us peace of mind and it helped
us better understand how to prepare
and what to expect.
This confirmed to me the need for
the Best Docs Network, which features
some of the best doctors in the Dallas/
Fort Worth area. Something as simple as
having a resource like Bestdocsnetwork.
com and the Best Docs Network television show, where people can search for
a certain specialty and watch real life
stories of the doctors’ procedures and
testimonies, makes a difference. The
Best Docs Network is educational and
informative.
Our son’s successful surgery was a
blessing in two ways. Our son was safe
and healthy, and it encouraged me along
with CEO Bill Lee to create an easy process for you to find the right doctor for
yourself or your loved ones. The Best
Docs Network is so successful in helping
patients find the right doctor that it has
now grown to five cities: DFW, Houston,
San Antonio, Austin, and Nashville areas. To think one of the reasons why it
all started out is because my wife and I
had trouble finding the right doctor for
our son. This is no longer the case with
the existence of the Best Docs Network.
