Looking for a new or a used car? DriveWise Auto has been able to help many Jen’s List members buy and lease their new and used vehicles, and would love to help you or anyone you know!  They are a Charity Driven Auto-Buying and Leasing Service that gives its clients the ability to buy or lease their vehicles AND to be socially responsible at the same time. DriveWise Auto will very literally do all the work, guarantee competitive pricing, a hassle-free experience, AND provide added-value by making a charitable donation as part of every purchase or lease.  This month, DriveWise Auto is celebrating the delivery of its 500^th vehicle, having now donated in excess of $50,000 to local and global charities, and to having 500 Charity Driven vehicles on the roads all while providing great pricing, and great service.  Ask yourself this: if “CarPlace A” and “CarPlace B” have the same vehicle available, but “CarPlace A” offers amazing concierge service, completely unbiased advice, no pressure, a more competitive price, AND contributes to charity….where would you buy or lease your car?  Why bother spending your time running from dealership to dealership and using time that could otherwise be spent on things more important to you when DriveWise Auto can do all the work for you and without all the hassle? Even if you just have auto-related questions, call 818.345.5555, e-mail info@drivewiseauto.com or visit www.drivewiesauto.com

It will help to find the right doctor in your area. The site has Doctor Finder, a new tool devoted to making it easy to find a doctor, dentist or medical specialist based on the criteria most important to patients.  Frustrated by the limited functionality and lack of patient reviews available on most health insurance websites, Insider Pages created a solution that combines all the criteria critical to selecting a doctor — in one place.  Now, users can search for a doctor based on factors such as patient ratings and specialty, insurance plans accepted, board certification and record, gender and years of experience.  Insider Pages allows individuals to share first-hand reviews of their doctors and to rank the doctor based on nine specific factors such as ease of making an appointment, whether they felt the doctor spent sufficient time with them, and whether they felt the doctor listened to and answered their questions. Through a partnership with HealthGrades, the leading independent healthcare ratings organization, Insider Pages gives users access to 1.2 million patient ratings and 15 discrete data points on each of more than 800,000 doctors. For additional information on Insider Pages Health & Medical, or to find the right doctor in your area, please visit: http://www.insiderpages.com/doctorfinder
