Real Self has risen to be a leading online resource for patients seeking a wide variety of cosmetic procedures. Patients present to plastic surgeons everyday with knowledge they have gained by getting answers from doctors on Real Self as well as those from other patients who post and discuss their non-surgical and surgical cosmetic procedures.
Every year Real Self reveals its list of the top 100 physicians in cosmetic medicine on their site who have made significant contribution to social media. The doctors that made the annual RealSelf 100 list are recognized both for having an outstanding record of positive consumer feedback and for providing unique, valuable insights that can’t typically be found on the social web. The doctors who made the list are dedicated to helping millions of before and after surgery patients gain access to information and medical knowledge to help them better better informed choices for the cosmetic medicine and surgery needs.
Dr. Barry Eppley, board-certified plastic surgeon in Indianapolis, made the Real Self 100 list again for 2014. According to Dr. Eppley, ‘It is always an honor to be selected as one of the top one-hundred specialists for the Real Self 100. With an online community of more than 6,000 physicians, it means a lot to be selected in the top 2% of all doctors’.
According to Tom Seery, Founder and CEO of Real Self, “The top 100 doctors collectively spent more than 3,300 hours—or 140 days—posting answers and sharing expert insights with the Real Self community. For all 100 of these doctors, time is extremely valuable, yet they all make a commitment to engaging online consumers in order to build trust and help people make better decisions about potential changes to their body, face and smile.”
