Berkeley, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/28/2011 -- Lotus Ob. Gyn now offers women's education patient handouts on its website to support the needs of its patients. It understands the importance of providing patient handouts to improve clinical care and patient satisfaction. Lotus Ob. Gyn (http://www.lotusobgyn.com/index.html) is happy to be providing its patients with convenient, online access to women’s health resources on its own practice website.

Surveys have shown that U.S. adults frequently search online for patient handouts, but are frustrated by the large volume of health 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 patient education during an office visit, and most medical practice Websites lack health information. Lotus joins other Ob-Gyn practices that use the “From Your Doctor” service from Vivacare to manage their women’s health patient handouts (http://www.vivacare.com).

Lotus Ob. Gyn offers state-of-the-art to its patients, across all ages. The practice provides comprehensive obstetrical and gynecological care including a variety of surgical procedures, bioidentical hormones, family planning services, prenatal care including high risk pregnancy management, in-house ultrasonography and well-woman exams.
