Doctor rating websites are fundamentally flawed ! How can a handful of ratings properly represent an appropriate assessment of a doctor who may see several hundred patients each month, and many thousands over a career? The anonymity means there is generally no ability to identify the person who has posted the rating. Is it a patient, a person with a grudge, or even a colleague in “competition” with them? Is this an appropriate method of assessing a practitioner’s skills as a doctor? A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2015 found no evidence that doctor rating websites were associated with clinical quality measures !!!!!!!
