April 21 2020 by Dr. Bret Scher, MD in For doctors
For the past few months, we’ve been working hard to improve our Find a Doctor page.
And this week, we’re debuting the result: an even more visually attractive and interactive resource to connect patients to low-carb doctors, locally or remotely.
Quickly find one of 400+ doctors, searchable by location, speciality, and see if they offer remote consultations.
As a new feature, each individual doctor we list also has their own page with a unique URL. This will enable them to share their page with their network or, if they like, provide us with information to update their page with more details about their research or practice.
As medical director of Diet Doctor, I am really proud of this growing list of practitioners. It shows the steady increase in the global community of clinicians who are committed to helping patients adopt a nutritional approach to reverse diabetes and metabolic syndrome, lose weight, and improve their general health.
It is visual proof, too, that low-carb medicine is becoming an ever-more legitimate standard of care. Every dot on the map represents likely hundreds of patients who are being helped by a clinician comfortable with low-carb nutrition.
If you are a clinician with prescribing privileges in your jurisdiction, we invite you to send an email to samrachna@dietdoctor.com. She will forward you a link to an online form to fill out.
Just to clarify how the listing process works: We check the credentials and do a background search for everyone who applies to be listed, and we never list any clinician without his or her expressed consent.
In the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are also highlighting the increasing number of practitioners seeing patients through remote consultations. We appreciate how this allows more people to improve their health, potentially reducing the risk of serious complications of the virus, all while keeping social distancing practices in place.
We hope before long, the map will feature thousands of doctors worldwide. Come join us and spread the word.
Thanks for reading,
Dr. Bret Scher, MD FACC

This is great and already shared on my Facebook group. Not that many in the UK yet. However I am trained as Nutrition Network Advisor by Prof Tim Noakes' Nutrition Network team. There are quite a lot of us. We can work in tandem with doctors or independently. Could we maybe be added as sources of help?

We expect the list to continue to grow as more people share and more physicians submit to be included. There are instructions in the article above on how to be added to the list. "If you are a clinician with prescribing privileges in your jurisdiction, we invite you to send an email to anne.mullens@dietdoctor.com. She will forward you a link to an online form to fill out."

We are adding doctors as fast as we can. It takes us being aware of them, as well as them being aware of us. If you come across any low carb friendly physicians, please encourage them to contact us. This is a team effort.

The problem is there are no doctors or PAs in the rural areas. I know they exist. My PA and Pulmonologist recommend LCHF.

Sophie, depending on where you live, there are many clinicians who now do remote consultations, seeing you over a video link.
This number has increased greatly during Covid, because so many doctors have been seeing patients over their computers and not in person.
If you put the toggle on the https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/doctors page to "remote consultations" and also enter in your general location, state or province level, you can see on the map the ones who do this option. Their range depends on their license (in the US they have to qualify in each state) but many can do their own state as well as other states, too. Check it out.
