I agree Sanjay. you can not choose doctor random, it’s no pub or bar… I prefer to choose doctor based on the good reviews…

In reply to Jay Bird. I agree with you, Jay Bird, no one shouldn't write reviews about the doctors, they don't need to be on some lists and make some other to evaluate their work. It so shameless.

No, I don’t think about rating doctors ability. I am not a doctor, I am a patient. It seems everyone nowadays knows how somebody have to do his work. Like everyone are specialist for everything. Everybody knows everything, people are ,,smart,, today, learning from net. Why did anybody need specialist for anything, just ,,click,, and you see…hahaha…Don’ make me laugh. Let them do their job, they went to school to learn something, to help people,help, help…Only thing that is important is to have empathy for sickness, sick people often need a warm look and nice and polite person in white cute. I could be bad and intentionally send good or bad review just to amuse myself.

It’s a great thing you can rate doctors now. I don’t want to go to some bad doctors. After all, it my health we are talking about, not some dinner or tourist destination which can go wrong and no harm done.

Hahaha. Great point you got there @smstudent. The more they advertise actually mean that they don’t have patients. Once they became overwhelmed with patients how will they take care of them? They will not provide full diagnosis, they will not listen to the patients problems and so on. But they will not care about that anymore, they will have a big database of clients and great reviews that will get them more and more patients. This sites for reviewing doctors should be taken down once and for all.

In reply to Kyle. I agree with @Kyle about that. If two doctors went to school together and both of them specialized in the same field, why should there be any difference? Maybe one of them simply put up his/her online profile sooner and got plenty more reviews. Does that means that he will take better care of the patient then the one who does not have time to post profile because he/she is actually working? That is just wrong. And by providing a positive review to one of them makes you become a fan and not a patient. Maybe the next step will be adding some half naked cheerleaders to the waiting room.

In reply to Marija. You all know where is this leading? Doctors with plenty good review will become overwhelmed with work, so they will raise their price, which will lead some people to change doctors. The more reviews they get the higher their price is. Just like in sports. If your average score is high your payment will be higher as well. Now tell me that a Doctor is same as a basketball player!!!!!! Ridiculous!!!!!

Everyone can post a review, both normal and spoiled people. A lot of bored or lonely old people in my hometown go to doctor just to talk to someone and after the doctor send them home without new (unnecessary) drugs, they bad-mouthing the doctor. On the other hand, a well respected doctor called my sister’s friend “lazy cow” (!!!), when she was in hospital with her child and nobody believes her because this was “a well respected” doctor.

Baseer, yes unfortunately people place a lot of weight on personality when reviewing a doctor. While most people who read a review about a doctor imagine their getting informed about that doctor’s abilities.

Or maybe American colleges have become just as out of touch as American high schools.

The more education you have the less customer satisfaction? Maybe it has to do with bedside manner. The longer you spend at Yale the less likely Joe the Plumber is to understand anything you say.
