My web rating: Oh no! - Thanks to the Web, everyone's a critic. The author describes her chilling experience with online reviews

And of course, it all depends on who is doing the ratings and the criteria used...BD

Fortunately, most people use personal recommendations to choose their physicians, so I don't think that these rating sites make much difference in the success or failure of a medical practice. Unlike that of the local restaurateur, my small business is relatively safe. Despite this, I hope that the administrators of these sites develop a means of confirming that people who rate physicians areor at least were those physicians' patients. Meanwhile, I will continue to practice medicine the best way I know how: with compassion and genuine interest in my patients' well-being. And each Sunday I will cross my fingers for my comrades in different white jackets. Who knows, I may even go to a restaurant that, according to a reviewer, overcooks the fish. After all, you just don't know unless you see for yourself.
