Empowering Americans to choose the best healthcare, one doctor at a time.

Our Story

We respect doctors, and we know they’re human. Every doctor has areas where they excel.

Since the inception of digital health, the SelectDr® leadership team has spent our careers helping people make better health decisions. When we turned our attention to employee benefits, we saw an opportunity to rethink doctor choice. That work reinforced a realization years in the making: one of the most important things anyone can do for their health is choose the right doctor. Get it right, and you get the best care from the outset.

Each doctor has conditions or procedures in which they excel based on training, experience, and interests. Choosing the right doctor means matching medical skills and strengths with the needs of each consumer’s specific medical situation. Most people choose doctors by word of mouth or online reviews. Both only tell you what other patients thought.

Consumers are great assessors of whether a doctor provides good service. However, it’s nearly impossible for them to know if the doctor provided good medical care compared to their peers in a specific scenario.

All a consumer can know is whether the care met the expectations set by the doctor. There’s no way to know whether those were the right expectations to begin with. For example, if the doctor tells you that you will recover from surgery in 3 weeks and you recover in 3 weeks, you are happy with the care you received. However, you might not know that there was a non-surgical option available that would have had a 2-week recovery.

The right doctor is more likely to lay out all your options from the start.
