Research Notes on Physician Rating
Physician rating websites were created to help patients find information about their physicians, such as whether they are board certified, or their educational history, and additional information such as office hours, accepted insurance providers, and other helpful information.1 These sites are not without controversy. They shift the balance of power, but raise the question of whether consumers can simply rate an M.D. like they’d review consumer products.
Fast Facts:
- These sites help you review healthcare and, more specifically, the doctors who provide it.2
- Some doctors are not terribly crazy about these websites and say that peoples random; yet anonymous opinions don't truly measure the quality of a physician.3
- Online physician ratings allow patients to critique their doctors, publicly and anonymously, while providing one of the newest tools available to consumers who are seeking information to help them to select a doctor.4
