Misdiagnosis, overlooked follow-up and rushed appointments. Unfortunately these problems are becoming more common in our over-taxed health system. A recent article in the LA Times explores the need for accurate information about the quality of doctors and hospitals to help you make the best health care choices.

In that article, California PinnacleCare Member Georgina Petruzzi shares her experience with a physician who wanted to put her on medicine to control blood sugar after she experienced gestational diabetes while pregnant. She wanted a second opinion from a physician in whom she could have confidence, so she joined PinnacleCare and got quick access to a top doctor who found the medicine was not needed. Not only did her new physician provide a carefully reasoned second opinion, he helped the Member understand why he made the decision.

At PinnacleCare, we provide all our Members with facilitated access to top health care providers around the country and the world and a wealth of objective, scientifically based health information and research on any topic.
