All third party websites are independent though linked to or hosted by RgvMed.Com. The online user of the Rio Grande Valley Medical Directory as reference accepts as a condition of using the same that the information found at RgvMed.Com is subject to change at any time without notice. The directory shall be updated year round, and we welcome e-mail to make any corrections at any time or to change a listing. Please report any inaccurate links and we will correct.
RgvMed.Com provides FREE directory info about Rio Grande Valley physicians to the internet general public via each text listing, and/or through full website registration, development, and hosting. Website info and updates are provided by the owner of each website, and it is the policy of RgvMed.Com to accept such information as accurate and true, and to place the information online. For a sample physician interview click here. Our posting is limited to public information that may include the following: name of professional corporation, names of principals, address, location, areas of medicince practiced, contact telephone numbers, any photographs of business location, any illustrations, video, or audio, useful to presenting online data about the medical practice. Any other information that can be properly and verifiably presented can be included, including reference links while current. The intent of the text listing with the one page website and the full name domain registration with website design and hosting service is to inform rather than advertise. Information is the commodity. Information is what the online viewer seeks in order to make a better decision.
We ask that each medical office provide physician information including biographical sketches and photographs. We are in the process of calling on every physician in the Rio Grande Valley at least by phone in order to get our interview questions and to take a clear photograph of the doctor in a work setting (may be simulated for the camera). As a guide and sample please refer to the sample fictional website of the Superb medical practice, located at http://www.RgvMed.Com/superb_doctors_clinic. To develop a website we at minimum need the name of the clinic or medical practice, names of the licensed practitioner(s), address, and telephone numbers. We suggest the use of photographs, biographical sketches, and a description of areas of law practiced, as this educates potential clients and enables realistic expectations prior to making an appointment. We will post articles written by physicians, whether previously published or not, case histories, and any information that might be useful or of interest to someone visiting the medical practice online. There is no limit on how much information a medical practice can offer. We are aware that people find websites on the internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and year round, so what we want is an interesting while also informative website that is constantly updated. This we pledge to accomplish.
WE REQUEST A SIMPLE WRITTEN INTERVIEW WITH EACH PHYSICIAN Review the interview questions by clicking here. If you are a doctor in the Rio Grande valley and have read the interview questions already, you can respond online by clicking here. It shall be our policy to post a text listing for free even if the physician does not pay 25 cents per day for the annual listing of a one page website with photograph and interview - because we want the Rio Grande Valley to know every physician who is practicing locally. Further, we encourage all physicians to review the one page listing we will provide at the outset as a basis for a future website. The more information we give the public the better. If you are an physician with a practice in the Rio Grande Valley please remember that our focus is not on advertising slogans or other claims, but on providing information to the potential client online. If you are visiting us because you found us on the net while seeking an physician in the Rio Grande Valley, or in a search for Rio Grande Valley lawyers, you are at the right place. In pages to follow, when you click on the city buttons to the left or on the home page of this website - if we succeed - you should soon be able to have a virtual visit with most of the Rio Grande Valley physicians listed here. You can reload the website by clicking here.
There are no referral fees charged by RgvMed.Com even if the online user hires an physician listed here. RgvMed.Com is expressly not an physician referral service. We do not refer specific potential clients to specific physicians or vice versa. All transactions between online viewers and any physicians listed here are solely at the discretion of the parties. RgvMed.Com is a neutral and separate entity as a directory. Remember that there is no physician/patient relationship formed by visiting the physician’s website, or the website of any medical practice, or RgvMed.Com. RgvMed.Com does not endorse any medical practice or physician but will build an informative web presence for all to aid the online viewer in making an informed choice. The sole purpose of the website information is to provide the viewer a research tool useful in selecting the proper medical practice for his cause or litigation. RgvMed.Com serves physicians in general as a vehicle of expression of capabilities in a public profile and in a local forum. The online viewer benefits by evaluating data posted on each medical practice website. The RgvMed.Com goal for all is for the potential client to make an appointment for consultation with an physician of choice. The online search that will lead to telephone call and appointment will be more focused. There is no question that in today’s world the internet does help everyone to make better use of their time. If you are seeking legal counsel you are not alone. Many people are seeking information online today. The selection of legal counsel is important, and the online viewer is well advised to objectively evaluate physicians and not proceed only on self proclaimed proficiency. It is for this reason that the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners includes a requirement in its Board Rules (Chapter 164.4) that physicians clearly state whether or not they are board certified in any advertised area of practice, by placing the following notice in any public statement that may be construed as advertising of name: “Not certified by an organization recognized by the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners.”. This means that when you see the statement that an physician is board certified in a given area, you will know he has taken extra steps to meet the requirements for certification. RgvMed.Com complies with the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners Board Rules (Chapter 164), which governs PHYSICIAN ADVERTISING when referencing any physician on any page of a domain with content designed by RgvMed.Com.
The rate for an physician text listing with a one page text website is only 25 cents (25˘) per day billed annually. We offer the Premium complete website service for one dollar ($1) per day. and here is how we divide the dollar: to the previous cost of 25 cents (25˘) we add 50 cents (50˘) per day for complete multi-page website development of a name domain, a unique website. This includes initial registration of the name domain and development of the website. Add another 25 cents (25˘) per day and we go one step further: we submit the developed medical practice website to hundreds of search engines so that in a short period of time the name surfaces when people on the internet search for professionals in the given area of expertise and in the specific geographical area, which in this case is the Rio Grande Valley. If the medical professional or medical practice already has a website we automatically supply a link from the text listing. The copyright for any text or portion of text on each website is retained by it’s author. Hosting must be on our servers unless we are only linking to an existing professional quality website. E-mail links are provided as part of the hosting package in whatever quantity are needed by each medical practice, and each website is assigned it’s settings for use with Outlook or Outlook express or any Pop3 e-mail engine. Remember that e-mail is not secure anywhere on the web unless you use a secure encryption key, which we can provide. Talk about that with us directly. If not using secure encryption then a fax is more secure for transmission of critical information. Remember that all unencoded e-mail is subject to interception by third parties and RgvMed.Com is expressly not liable for an individual’s usage of e-mail. Website file space will never be an issue, as each medical practice will be given as much space as it needs as their website grows. We are able to provide streaming media at a slight extra fee. Call for details. Further development may be contracted for at an extra fee as the need may arise. It is understood that inclusion of any listing or website link is not an endorsement of the services offered by that medical practice, but all listings or websites are of an informative or advertising nature, whichever may best apply. Please send notice of any material posted in error to publisher@RgvMed.Com. This paragraph constitutes the agreement for service as described above at the rate quoted herein and shall be reflected in any contract for website development until further notice, or in the absence of any written contract than this electronic notice shall be the governing instrument of agreement effective September 1, 2004. The website shall operate as a free public service maintained by the fees paid by the physicians whose websites are listed or linked to or hosted here. To contact the medical practices please send e-mail via their website or call to the office numbers posted on their website. Contact us directly for listing procedures if you are a physician or a medical practice or to fill out our online form click here. We do not forward messages to physicians and we do not in any way offer medical advice at RgvMed.Com. Hire your physician of choice. Any layman research performed via any links on this website are not to be construed as advice, nor is inclusion of any link an endorsement of the target website. Use research links at your own discretion and at your own risk. Remember that the science community often changes the definition of known facts and frequently announces new discoveries faster than websites can be updated. Remember that physician consultation fees are reasonable and may help save a life or a person's well being. Do not delay medical treatment for yourself or your family when licensed medical help is affordable and is the best solution for your medical situation at any time. It is far better to spend a little money now on professional help than to have to spend a lot more later trying to fix a bigger problem. In a similar way, it makes sense to place your medical practice website here now and be known online than to try and catch up to the times far behind the competition a year from now. The longer your name and associated area of practice are online the deeper that information about you will soak into the search engines. Everyone can take advantage of our directory and put it to good use, but you need to be in the search engines or your website is not easily found. Do call a medical practice of your choice and make an appointment, it will be the best first step you can take if you have a situation that may require medical attention. We want to via the reference pages contained on RgvMed.Com introduce you to your next physician. Write to publisher@RgvMed.Com with your comments or suggestions. Other than this there are no other services offered, nor any other agreements made between website visitor, publisher, or any physician or medical practice whose website is hosted by or linked to via RgvMed.Com.
