Internet Resources

Having a wealth of information can be both a blessing and a curse. How do you determine which information is helpful and which is potentially harmful? The most important factor to consider when looking for information on the Internet is that your healthcare providers are still the ones that direct your health care program. It is not advised to make changes to your treatment plan based solely off information gathered from the Internet. Please discuss new findings with your health care provider before making any changes. Here are some sites we have reviewed and found to be among the most informative and trusted.
