| Popis: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the role that a surgeon’s online presence plays in patients’ decisions to be treated by that surgeon. Postoperative patients from our arthroplasty clinic were enrolled in a retrospective cross-sectional questionnaire. Results from 101 patients demonstrated that the most searched information was education and training (68.8%), online ratings (53.1%), online reviews (50%), associated hospital and/or university (46.9%), insurance coverage (37.5%), location (21.9%), and awards (9.4%). The results of our questionnaire suggest that orthopedic surgeons could more effectively shape their online presences by highlighting these characteristics that patients are more likely to research. |
