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.

While the internet can be a great source of information, it also can be a source of modern-day quackery. Below is an updated list of informational web sites that can be used by patients to find credible medical information.

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