"MDConsult is a one-stop shop for all kinds of medical information for me. It scores over other search sites because you get direct, instant links to full-text articles , not just abstracts (eg. Pubmed). I can even browse journals by opening one window to the TOC ( table of content) sites of my specialty journals and another to MDConsult. The patient education material is a useful archive for handouts. Since these are often large, I download specific items on floppies for patients who request material or send it across by email. The news material - 'Today in Medicine' and 'What patients are reading' are quite informative and I visit them regularly."

- Dr Roop Gursahani, Hon.Associate Professor in Neurology, Grant Medical College and Sir J.J.Hospital . Consultant Neurologist at Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai .

"MD Consult represents precisely the type of on-line resource I have hoped for ever since I became acquainted with the Internet. As a generalist (FP) I often run into clinical situations that I see infrequently. Having access to an array of current textbooks extremely helpful for fast review. Then I can search the journals for more current details."

- Dr. Tim Appenheimer

"I find MD Consult the most helpful change to have taken place in the practice of medicine in the last 20 years. I teach Emergency Medicine in a Residency Program. It is so easy to get reference material to back up a point of instruction with MD Consult. I use it on almost every case."

- Bill Bass, Jr. M.D.

"I'm a radiologist. I find the reference search capabilities very useful, giving me access to information from the point of view of clinical specialists. The full text journal retrievals are awesome. If I just had more time...! This service is a time multiplier, allowing clinically useful research in minimum time.

"Thanks for the service. I think it is a bargain."

- Steve Diehl MD

"I love MD Consult. I find it better and quicker to use than any other on-line service I've tried... I love having immediate access to articles and textbooks, and going in between on MD Consult. I was about to go out and update my home library, but now I feel this meets most of my needs."

- Linda P. Engelstad, M.D.

"Thanks for the wonderful service. I have had more fun keeping up-to-date not only in my field of practice, but also some of my colleagues. I have even been able to "one up" some of the Drug reps as they come by to detail new products and find I am quoting the latest literature to them instead of the other way around. Keep up the nice service."

- E. DiAnn Hunter, M.D.

"MD Consult is the best medical service on the web."

- Dr. Mostafa Yakoot

"Without MD Consult, I had to wade through stacks of printed materials in our office library, or attempt to cross-reference the many CD-ROMS we purchased. MD Consult offers the best publications in medicine, provides cross-referencing and even rates additional web-based resources for me."

- Roger Mitty, MD
