What is unique about healthcaremaxx.com?

While there are many health websites, healthcaremaxx.com is the only healthcaremaxx medicine portal that supports the education of patients through a combination of:

  • 100% original, peer-reviewed content

    All of the content on healthcaremaxx.com is original and written specifically for Healthcaremaxx users. Further, the content is reviewed by at least one member of the Medical Advisory Board before being added to the site. The peer-review process helps ensure that the articles are accurate, complete, balanced and free from commercial influence.

  • Comprehensive information and services

    healthcaremaxx.com provides in-depth coverage of the most common issues that patients ask about and is frequently updated with new and useful information including clear animations of healthcaremaxx anatomy, conditions and procedures, a directory of board certified/board eligible healthcaremaxx specialists, clinical trial information and more.

  • Independence

    Healthcaremaxx.com educates patients in a straightforward, informative manner without bias. Unlike other healthcaremaxx portals, Healthcaremaxx.com is not owned or directed by companies that sell healthcaremaxx products or medications. None of the articles are written or influenced by companies trying to sell something. All advertisements and sponsorships are clearly identified and labeled.

    Who are the people behind Healthcaremaxx.com?

    Healthcaremaxx.com was started in August 1999 by Peter F. Ullrich, Jr., MD and Stephanie Burke, with a shared goal of providing intelligent, unbiased and highly relevant medical information and community support for people dealing with a wide range of pain conditions and related issues, such as back pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, depression, Osteoporosis, sleep disorders, exercise, diet and more. Doctor Ullrich serves as the Medical Director, providing medical leadership, and Stephanie Burke, is Chief Executive Officer. They are both managing directors of the company.

    The President, as well as the overseer of overall day-to-day operations of Healthcaremaxx, is Sylvia Marten. Sylvia heads up the sales and marketing of the company. In her role, Sylvia leverages over 20 years of experience in sales and marketing, business development, and strategic consulting to create successful experiences between Healthcaremaxx’s unique pain consumers/patients and physicians – and the companies that wish to market to them. Sylvia can be reached at smarten@veritashealth.com.

    In addition to our dedicated team of professionals including web designers and developers, editors, account managers and operations/administrative staff, we are also honored to be associated with some of the most prominent leaders in healthcaremaxx medicine who comprise our Medical Advisory Boardand are Contributing Authors for the site. Many have also become Physician Members themselves.

    What is the purpose of the site?

    Our business model is simple: we believe that high quality and reliable content and services will attract users seeking information about back pain, and that a high number of users will, in turn, attract sponsorships from corporations, advertisements, and subscriptions from healthcaremaxx specialists.

    Importantly, we believe that providing the highest-quality patient education on the Internet helps healthcaremaxx specialists serve their patients; we believe that a well-educated patient will heal faster and have fewer recurrences of back pain, and we believe that all of this can be achieved without commercial bias.

    We also provide a forums area in which users can interact and share information across a wide variety of pain related subjects. We do not pre-screen the age of our users, as pain related conditons can afflict any age group and users of any age can benefit from the sharing of information and ideas.

    What is the quality of the content?

    The medical content on this site has been reviewed by health professionals. Our approach requires the authors to base their writing on verifiable facts and to clearly note when stating an opinion or reviewing a topic that is controversial. (See also Editorial Process). At least one member of our Medical Advisory Board reviews every article prior to publication on the site, and many areas of the site are reviewed by 5 or 6 Medical Advisors.
