EveryDoc is a grassroots, multifunctional web utility for medical professionals, patients, and the general public. At its heart are two separate professional networks: one for physicians only, and one for nurses/PAs only. Members of these networks can make use of any of EveryDoc’s innovative tools in the interest of improving patient outcomes and health care around the world.
The availability of medical content on EveryDoc to various user types is controlled solely by the professionals who have provided it. Members are vetted through proprietary processes and are offered customizable privacy settings on all information they provide.
EveryDoc is open to users worldwide. Physician, nurse, PA, patient, and organization membership on EveryDoc is free of cost. Monetization is currently based on online advertising.

EveryDoc.com is a medical content site that connects medical professionals to each other, and if they wish, to industry interests and to the general public.
“EveryDoc was originally conceived to help change the way people think about finding their doctors and other health care providers. A growing body of literature shows that patients generally use only imperfect information to find their clinicians, such as family/friend recommendations, insurer lists, or simply proximity—all of which have significant limitations. Even the best profiles usually only cover the individual professional’s education, languages, and insurances accepted. Details ranging from specific clinical and research interests to professional activities to publications to availability and beyond can help patients make confident, informed choices. The problem is that this information is scattered across the internet, and if it does not take significant consumer effort to assemble, it might not be available without cost.
With further fine tuning, the EveryDoc team found that much more could be done with this model. Organizations that need clinician consultants and advisers for their various endeavors could use it. Medical tourists could use it. A number of interactive functionalities (including search options, blogs, message boards, colleague groups, private quality feedback, multimedia open medical library, availability tools, and others) for our medical users complemented with a full array of easy-to-use privacy settings could help clinicians improve their practices, enhance information flow among research groups, hospitals, and medical organizations, and make for a truly grassroots international medical information exchange.
Central to the EveryDoc experience is choice. Users may use as many or as few functionalities as they wish. They can be very public presences or simply browse around the site invisibly. The people at EveryDoc believe respecting everyone’s privacy is an integral part of realizing the site’s vision. All physician, nurse/PA, patient, and organization accounts are completely free. As a result of EveryDoc’s open, user-centric policies and site options, physicians and nurses in 15 different countries have joined so far.” ’ (Source: EveryDoc)
