Doctor Evidence gets reviews from all of its clients. The following are select framed questions that Doctor Evidence did for clients accompanied with a short testimonial from the client.

What is the evidence that carpal tunnel syndrome will resolve on its own after pregnancy?

“I am indebted to Doctor Evidence for helping me make an informed decision about not having surgery on my wrists for carpal tunnel syndrome, against the advice of my surgeon. What a relief to skip the agonizing weeks of not being able to lift my infant daughter and to also start a new business with this important medical decision behind me."

- Barbara, Los Angeles, California.

What is the evidence for treatments to prevent fractures in patients with diagnosis of osteoporosis/osteopenia of the spine with history of hypothyroidism (on synthroid) and compression fracture of lumbar spine? 

“Doctor Evidence provided me with outcome data that answered my specific questions about safety and effectiveness of different therapies for osteoporosis. I am a kiteboarder and a nurse, so it was important to me , to find evidence about a treatment that would prevent osteoporottic fractures in women over many years and have no major known side effects. This service included support and technologies that helped me understand and use the evidence to make an informed decision."

- Susan, RN

What is the evidence about the effectiveness for various coronary stents vs. open heart surgery to prevent heart attacks or death in diabetic patients?

“My father, who is a doctor, was hospitalized emergently for unstable angina. Doctor Evidence provided evidence about the safety and effectiveness of various coronary stents vs. open heart surgery to prevent heart attacks or death in diabetic patients. The evidence enabled me to communicate with my father's doctors and to assure my family that my father was getting the best treatment options."

- Whitney, Toronto, Canada

What diagnostic tests should be done on children who are gluten free diet and have celiac sprue to rule out nutritional deficiencies, and other diseases associated with celiac sprue?

“My daughter was diagnosed with celiac sprue and I wanted to make sure that her doctors were providing the best tests and treatments. Doctor Evidence provided me with evidence about nutritional problems and other medical problems associated with celiac sprue. I used this evidence to make sure my daughter receives the appropriate diagnostic tests to monitor her nutritional status while on a restricted diet and the early onset of any diseases associated with celiac sprue. In addition, the evidence helped me realize that my daughter’s old doctor did not know enough about celiac disease.”

- Michelle, Los Angeles, California

What are the most accurate diagnostic tests to confirm the type of colitis (ulcerative vs. crohns vs. infectious vs. indeterminate vs. other)? Once the diagnosis is confirmed, what are safe and effective treatments for the specific colitis? What are the contraindications to reversal of colostomy with this specific colitis and which reversal surgical procedure has the best outcomes?

“As you know, it has been a very long and painful journey for me since my first surgery, back in November, 2002. Unfortunately, I had relied solely on my doctors' diagnosis and treatment, and did not ever question them in this regard. As a consequence of my not taking a more active role in my medical care and treatment, my health severely deteriorated into a life-threatening situation, and, as a result, I required emergency colon surgery, almost two years ago.

I am so very grateful to you, Doctor Evidence, for taking the time and effort to seek out the medical information which has not only finally allowed me "an insider's look" into the medical world and the information only my doctors would have had access to, had they taken the interest, time or effort to research my severe and painful medical conditions. I continue to look forward to receiving all the wonderful information and possible tests available to me, with respect to my specific medical condition. I never thought I would even want to buy a medical dictionary, let alone have the confidence and understanding necessary to research the medical terminology, which to this point, eluded me. I'm just now learning, thanks to your ongoing support, that I can be an informed patient and have the right to question each and every medical and operative test and result which my doctor, in the past, had performed or ordered, without ever informing me as to why these tests and/or procedures were necessary.

My doctors, who truly care about my health and wellbeing, have been more than happy to discuss these medical options with me, thanks to all of your amazing efforts. Thank you so very much, again, Doctor Evidence, for your continued support, invaluable information, and time and effort to relay all of your medical research to me.”

- Evelyn, Beverly Hills, CA

What are the safest and most effective surgical treatments for hyperhidrosis (sweating syndrome) affecting the hands, feet, and armpits in young patients?

“The evidence led me to a surgeon at the Mayo Clinic who pioneered a new procedure that can resolve this problem. I was able to contact the surgeon and found that the "new" medical journal article about the procedure was actually written a year earlier. His results--which were impressive in the article--had since improved. I would never have known about this were it not for DoctorEvidence getting me the important journal articles in the first place. I highly recommend their service, which includes experienced medical librarians who are experts in gathering the relevant information necessary for treating a complex problem or locating a medical expert for a particular condition.”

- Alan Rosenbach, MD, Los Angeles, CA

What are the complication rates and cure rates for ablation therapy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation to prevent reoccurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients with no structural heart disease or coronary heart disease?

“My medical problem involves a relatively common, yet complicated heart condition. Information about this condition, and various therapies, are undergoing rapid development and change. I employed Dr. Evidence to help me find current, pertinent, information that would clarify the situation and help me decide what to do. Dr. Evidence staff gathered ample information for me and Dr. Feinman was readily available to discuss it and follow up with additional information in a dynamic, increasingly focused, process that was very helpful.”

- Dennis, Orange County, California
