How Does Asbestos.com's Doctor Match Program Work?
Medical Outreach Director Missy Miller explains how the Asbestos.com Doctor Match program works.
The doctor match program at asbestos dot com, we locate doctors in a certain vicinity closest to the patient, that have a specialty in mesothelioma. So normally, I find out where the patient lives, and then I connect him with the closest doctor When speaking with a patient to figure out which doctor I should send him to, I look at their geographic location. I found out type of specific cell type of mesothelioma they have. I actually listened to the patient to find out what their needs are. Are they completely again having surgery? Are they interested in having surgery? Do they, particularly want to stick more to chemotherapy or immunotherapy? So I try to listen to what the patient wants and then develop a specialist for them to see based off of their specific needs.
