Re: New York City docs- database

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to remind everyone that we have a physician reference

database on this group's website. It would be great if people would

take the time to put in a reference for their doctor(s). This is

especially important for those doctors who don't have many active

patients on this list! Obviously Ponseti, Dobbs and Herzenberg are

easy to find personal references for!

We can always modify the database headings or make new databases as

well if the group has other suggestions on what's needed/desired!

If you aren't comfortable including your personal contact information

in the database for future families, another option is to refer to a

past message(s) that you have posted on the list telling about your

experiences with this doctor. (i.e. " msg #XXXX " )

Hi, . I just added a doctor but perhaps I can give a suggestion?

The field for doctor could perhaps have a first name field and last

name field? I find it difficult to find a doctor by name (sometimes

Dr. is first if I try to sort the list, sometimes first name, sometimes

last name). In addition, our doctor has offices in two cities (and

states--it is a border town) and so if someone does a search for city,

it will be difficult to find the information.

Thanks for keeping the database.

Thanks for the feedback, ! And thanks for putting your entry

in!

I noticed that about the database some time ago (with the names),

but haven't had the time to go update all the entries to split the

first and last names. One trick I use is to use the " find "

feature when looking for a particular name or region, it will search

all the entries.

there may not be enough fields left to do this. yahoo only allows

something like 7 fields.

I am not sure how the database works. Should I add my doctor even

though he isn't on Ponseti's list? Although I worried about the

correction initially, we sent photos to Dr. Ponseti and he said

everything looked good.

Kaci,

There are a number of doctors on the referral list who aren't on Dr.

Ponseti's list....and this is one of the main reasons to keep the

database because there are *good* docs who haven't gone through the

process to get listed with the U of Iowa. If you have some

particular comments or warnings that you'd tell a family if they

asked you about going to that doctor, you can put it in the

additional info section on the database. " Non-referrals " are also

acceptable entries.

I did modify the table so there's a new column (it's at the end

because I couldn't add a new column at the beginning) asking for the

doctor's last name. People can now sort the entries by the last

name by clicking on the heading in that column.
