Dr. Ruth Oratz, MD, speaks on the benefits of joining the max.md network

As a Neurodevelopmental Psychiatrist specializing in learning disabilities, Aspergers Syndrome and ADHD, I am especially sensitive to eliminating technological barriers for communication with my patients. Log on and registration protocols can be confusing for many patients, especially the elderly and those with cognitive challenges. SecureSend requires little more than clicking a button, and provides two way secure communication; it doesn't get any easier. This "reasonable accommodation" is an easy and inexpensive way to be ADA compliant, eliminate barriers to internet access, and help my patients stay connected. We are all are happy with the new system. It is just what I was looking for."

"Earlier this year we were looking for a HIPAA compliant email encryption solution that would be affordable and easy to implement. After looking at countless options we finally found exactly the right solution with max.md. It is reliable, scalable, well-supported, easy to install, and provides us with a great solution with no appreciable work flow disruption to our staff. For a low monthly fee we are able to route all of our email traffic through max.md's platform. We can choose whether to encrypt each email message on a per-message basis. Best of all it was easy to set up and support is just a phone call away. We have been using the solution for months now without a glitch. Count me among max.md's highly satisfied customers!"

"Our organization, AWARE, is the Alliance Working for Antibiotic Resistance Education, initiated by the California Medical Association Foundation. We chose to register AWARE.md for two reasons. The first was practical - our organization’s name "AWARE" was already registered in both the .com and .org domains. When we discovered the Medical Domain, we thought it would serve as a meaningful Web site and email address that clearly represented our organization. We chose Dick Van Dyke as the voice of our public service announcements and hearing his voice on the radio talking about AWARE.md is terrific. We’ve tracked our Web site traffic and have found more and more physicians and clinicians are reaching us as a result of having .md as part of our overall communications efforts. We feel it reinforces how important our project is and are thrilled to have our organization - AWARE.md - represented in the Medical Domain."

"It was with careful consideration that Central Florida Cancer Care Center chose to use .md instead of a .com or .net Web extension. Subject-specific Internet domain names such as .org, .edu and .md have a significant presence and we feel there is inherent value in the Medical Domain that other domains can not offer. Cancercarecenter.md is highly personalized and provides us with a creative and professional advantage on the Internet. Millions of Americans use the Web every day to research medical information. .md was established as the medical domain for physicians seeking to utilize the Internet to improve the patient experience as well as expand the scope of their practice. We wanted to take advantage of that. We feel .md embodies our commitment to excellence in medicine as well as our decision to provide superior patient care."

"We first heard about .md when our Web development team told us about it. It appealed to us immediately because the first four letters of our company name, “DAVE”, an acronym for Diabetes and Vascular Education was already registered in both the .com and .net Internet domains. When we registered our .md Web address, we elected to change our name from simply DAVE to dave.md to make it more memorable and meaningful. Many of our colleagues inquire about our .md Web site address and share that it is easier to remember and more applicable than our previous .com address. The Medical Domain (.md) extension helps to further identify us as an organization focused on providing medical education."

"We are a very unique company and we wanted an identity on the Web that accurately reflects this. In addition, we were looking for a site that would classify us as part of the medical community because 99 percent of our clients are physicians. The .md domain has just the exclusive appeal we were looking for."

"HeartSavers chose the .md Web extension because it is the only Internet domain site focused on the medical community, and we believe that the site is going to grow in a positive direction in the future, and we want to be a part of this exciting opportunity. The personalized Web address has helped set HeartSavers apart from the other imaging facilities that are located in the U.S., with name recognition, and because HeartSavers is a specialized outpatient diagnostic facility that is focused on total patient care for all of our referring physicians. Many physicians whom we work with on a daily basis have inquired about the unique .md domain on all of our marketing material, and the response was very positive."

"We are a network of 90 orthopedic surgeons and our Web site represents all of our physicians. We feel www.osna.md most accurately reflects our business…with .md, our Web address also clearly differentiates us — potential and existing patients know exactly what to expect when visiting a .md Web site-medical resources. We feel that the .md extension is more likely to be accessed by patients seeking medical information, healthcare providers, and advice. There has been a dramatic increase in the volume of visitors to osna.md-we are approaching 700,000 and the number continues to rise considerably each month. Osna.md helps us stand out against the millions of .com or .net Web sites on the Internet today and the Medical Domain extension (.md) also helps support the reputation we’ve worked so hard to build for our medical organization. Other groups try to model themselves after us; .md serves as another valuable point of distinction."

"Implementing max.md's technology into eCast's EMR was straight forward and accomplished in less than a weeks time. I wish all technology integration was this easy."

"The .md domain has allowed DoctorSolutions, Inc. to differentiate our Web site from every other .com and .net you see. As a provider of billing, accounts receivables and claims processing services to specialty physicians and independent physician associations (IPAs), .md helps DoctorSolutions, Inc. identify with our target audience that we understand the unique practice dynamics they face each day. Just as physicians must continue to specialize their practices to differentiate themselves, so too does DoctorSolutions Inc. need to differentiate itself from its competitors. The .md domain has given us an important and visible means to accomplish this strategy. Additionally, we have recommended the Medical Domain to physician clients and colleagues, many of whom have elected to register their Web sites within the domain, as it is so clearly focused on serving the medical industry."

"As the largest and most experienced team of retina specialists in Southwest Florida we feel eye.md fits perfectly as we are not lost in the “.com” shuffle. Patients say our .md Web site is easy to remember and particularly easy to find. The Medical Domain moniker—.md—truly brands our specialized practice, personalizes our Web site, and makes it easy for people to locate us on the Internet."

"When I first read about .md in AMA Newsletter I thought it was a great idea. I registered mycosmeticsurgeon.md for a couple of different reasons. First, I believe that the .md extension provides an immediate and meaningful online association to medicine and second, many premium medical Web names such as “mycosmeticsurgeon” and others can still be registered within the Medical Domain. When consumers of health services use natural search engines such as Google and our Web site address appears, we are immediately identified as a legitimate and professional medical organization. We believe that .md provides The Georgia Institute for Plastic Surgery with immediate credibility over sites listed in .com, .net, or .org."

"When I initially heard about .md, I immediately liked the fact that it was industry-specific and chose to register www.plastic.md right away because it was available as a .md Web address and not in .com or .net domains. I’ve told others about .md because it uniquely promotes what I do. My wife is an oncologist and she has registered oncology.md. She uses it for her email address just as I use it for mine. When people receive email messages or view my Web site, they think it is appropriate and special because .md clearly supports what I do in a memorable and personalized way."

"Our company, Swarm Interactive, provides multimedia patient education and medical Web site development services. Adding .md to our existing domain allows us to build on our recognized brand while taking advantage of the intrinsic connection to the medical community. Due to client demand, we also opted to make .md domain names and secure email services available to our client base. We are pleased that approximately 50 percent of all new domain registrations are within .md—The Medical Domain. The benefit for our clients has been the ability to register short, descriptive and meaningful domain names in an Internet domain dedicated specifically to the medical community. Many of these domain names have been unavailable in .com or .net for some time. In addition, with the new HIPAA security and privacy requirements, our clients are also taking advantage of secure email services. Through our partnership with max.md, we not only benefit from a listing in the Medical Domain but are able to help our clients by offering unique services designed specifically for medical providers."

"One of our core philosophies is to provide quality medical information to patients who are learning about their individual diagnosis and/or treatments. Our medical practice website www.tumors.md helps to achieve this with a Web extension that clearly indicates the information contained within our website is strictly medical in nature. Our website provides a venue for posting useful and relevant information that our patients can reference at their convenience.

Millions of people use the internet for healthcare information. As a physician, I want patients to access relevant and trustworthy medical information. This is why we have also registered www.sarcoma.md, a site designed exclusively for patients providing in-depth information on bone and soft tissue tumors, to complement our practice website, www.tumors.md.

Our .md websites are useful and easy-to-remember for both patients and our colleagues, and the Medical Domain is a very appropriate place to present this type of important information."
