Healthcare Economist: (NY Times) Why are there no doctor reviews on the web?
Why are there no doctor reviews on the web?:
The N.Y. Times has an interesting article citing a number of reasons why there are no good websites with doctors reviews on the web. There are some ratings websites (HealthGrades, RateMDs, Angie’s List, Yelp), but the listings are often sparse, with few contributors and little of substance.)
For one, physicians don’t like them.
“Several years ago, a physician reputation management service called Medical Justice developed a sort of liability vaccine. Doctors would ask patients to sign an agreement promising not to post about the doctor online; in exchange, patients would get additional privacy protections.
