Berkeley, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/13/2011 -- Clear Lake Dermatology (http://clearlakederm.com/index.php ) offers practical health information on its Website that supports the needs of its patients and members of the Houston community.
Surveys have shown that U.S. adults frequently search online for health information, but are frustrated by the large volume of information they find from questionable sources. A majority of health consumers state that they would prefer to get that information directly from their own doctor. Unfortunately, a majority of physicians report finding it difficult to provide education during an office visit and most medical practice Websites lack health information.
Clear Lake Dermatology, a dermatology practice in Webster, Texas, understands the importance of patient education (www.vivacare.com) and has taken measure to improve clinical care and patient satisfaction. It now provides its patients with convenient, online access to educational resources on its own practice Website.
Dr. Narin Apisamthanarax, M.D. and Dr. Prapand Apisamthanarax, M.D. of Clear Lake Dermatology show their commitment to patient care by making health information available online regarding the conditions they treat (acne, actinic keratoses, rosacea psoriasis, and skin cancer), the procedures they perform (Botox, Dermal Fillers), and medications they prescribe.
The physicians of Clear Lake Dermatology join other dermatologists (http://www.findadermatologist.com) who use the “From Your Doctor” service from Vivacare to manage their patient education content.
