Credible Web Sites for Patients
By David Tilstra, MD, Medical Director, CentraCare Clinic
The internet has become an integral source of information for Americans of all ages. Patients may try to diagnose illnesses based on information available on the internet or look for additional information when a new diagnosis is made. Sometimes it’s a place where patients connect with other patients.

Health information accessed through web sites is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
