Finally There is a Way for People to Find a Cosmetic Doctor Based on Their
Actual Experience and Connect With Real Patients About Their Experience
Cosmetic Dentists and Plastic Surgeons Look beyond Simple SEO Ranking to
Attract Patients by Showcasing Their Experience and Giving Them a Customized
Social Network to Share their Own Experiences

PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Cosmepedia.com is a new Internet
hub that is the brainchild of cosmetic doctors from around the world. These
doctors are connecting with patients in a new and better way on the Internet
by featuring:
    1. Skill and experience in the choice of a cosmetic doctor beyond an
anonymous list brought up in a Yahoo or Google search controlled by paid SEO.
    2. Real time patient networking where they can share their own experiences
on Cosmepedia's own social network, Wowzu.com.
    Cosmepedia.com highlights a doctor's actual cosmetic procedure
experience to help patients make more informed decisions. But what patients
say-particularly to each other in a social network context like Wowzu.com is
equally important.
    According to cosmetic dentist, Dr. Matt Bynum, of Simpsonville, South
Carolina, "there is a huge and growing concern by doctors that patients could
potentially wind up with a doctor with very little experience in cosmetic
dentistry or plastic surgery but lots of experience with SEO."
    Cosmepedia works with leading institutes like LVI Global where dentists go
through rigorous training to hone their craft as cosmetic clinicians.  When a
doctor completes a program like LVI or is accredited with the AACD (American
Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry) they are light years ahead of doctors who
simply join an organization and claim to be a cosmetic dentist.  According to
co-founder Lorne Ray the difference in experience is astounding and yet there
is very little legislation in place that regulates the claims that doctors
make as long as they have a license.
    In conjunction with Cosmepedia.com, Wowzu.com is a social media platform
where people connect based on their favorite life experiences (Wows) such as a
wedding, a travel experience or a makeover. The site is designed to allow
users to control the process, and communicate freely. Cosmepedia.com and
Wowzu.com will link to each other to create synergy.
    ABOUT Cosmepedia.com:
    Cosmedpedia.com is a Web 2.0 company and is located in Portland, OR. The
company was created by cosmetic doctors from around the country who recognized
the need for a resource where consumers have more information relative to the
actual experience of the doctor in addition to a social media platform where
they can connect with real people about their personal experiences. Company
CEO and Co-founder is Lorne Ray a lifelong entrepreneur who had built
companies in Franchising, career transition and feature film finance.
