Share Doctor Ratings Online

If you have had a lousy experience with a physician, you know the value of online doctor ratings. Having the luxury of hearing about a patients’ experience with a particular physician made have dissuaded you from every making an appointment with that medical office in the first place.

You knew right away that this appointment wasn’t going to go well. The staff was unfriendly, maybe even downright rude. The waiting room was over-crowded and not user-friendly. There were no magazines or all the magazines were from the year 2007 or earlier. You waited an extra hour for your appointment and when you finally did get in with the physician, he or she was too rushed to listen to your concerns.

Learning from experiences like yours is as important for future patients as it is for doctors. Finding a way to post your review online could help patients have a better experience and help doctors learn ways to improve their office and care.

Doctor ratings can don’t always have to lean toward the negative. Yes, there are those people that have had a terrible experience with a physician. However, sharing the positive reviews are as important as sharing the negative.

The staff is welcoming, addressing you by name and telling you how glad they are you chose their office. You notice the office has free wi-fi, so you quickly log in to your smart phone to get some work done. Your name is quickly called. The doctor is gracious and listens to your concerns. You leave happy and satisfied with the experience.

Sharing this online on a doctors ratings website will be as helpful if not more so than the negative experiences. People want to find positive experiences online. They are eager to connect with a physician that runs a quality office and provides exceptional care.

Prior to people posting doctor ratings online, the best way to find out about these doctors was by seeking and sharing recommendations with friends. This is basically the same process.

Insurance companies and health maintenance organizations are quickly catching on to this. Most have created extensive online rating systems.
