How can I find a Medicine 3.0 doctor?

Many Medicine 3.0 doctors operate outside of the traditional healthcare system to allow for swifter and smoother delivery of cutting-edge preventative care. A Medicine 3.0 physician should be board-certified in their respective specialty. Look for the suffix “MD” or “DO” and the words “board-certified” in your doctor’s bio.  Read more…
