If you haven't already done so, make a note to create free business listings in as many online directories as possible. You'll want to focus mostly on the "physician finder" or "find a doctor" Web sites, but also don't ignore health-related social networks designed to link health care professionals with patients and fellow practitioners.

There are several online directories that link health care practitioners with patients, and most are free to use.

Check out these sites:
