Ask Phoenix

Your private healthcare research assistant

Ask Phoenix helps you understand medical topics in plain language, prep for appointments, and organize what you learn — with citations you can verify. Signed-in members get an unlimited private thread.

A peek at how it works

Sample exchanges. Real answers include full source citations in-thread.

    Phoenix
    Here are 10 evidence-informed questions to ask, grouped by topic: procedure details, recovery timeline, risks, alternatives, and cost. Every recommendation links to source material from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and CMS.
  • How long does recovery from a shoulder arthroscopy usually take?
    Phoenix

Why Ask Phoenix is different

Private by default

Your questions stay in your account. We never sell your data and don't train third-party models on your threads.

Cited answers

Every material claim links to a public source — CMS, NIH, medical societies, or peer-reviewed guidelines.
