Submitting Doctor Reviews

Sometimes as a part of their service to you, a medical provider’s office will supply you with information to a website survey. The responses they receive are both helpful for future patients and helpful for the office in adjusting their business services to suit the needs of the people. A doctor’s office is, after all, a small business that needs to know how they can better serve the consumer. If you feel a desire to provide doctor reviews for an MD or for a medical staff or office, you can ask the staff at the front desk if they have information regarding your request or you can search for yourself to find a site that will allow you to input information on a specific physician.

Using the website address provided or by searching “doctor reviews” online, you will be able to navigate to a site that specializes in helping you put your experience into rating form. Once the site is identified, a series of prompts, points, and clicks will take you right where you need to be to perform a rating. Most often, the biggest hang up with completing this task is finding your specified provider as a part of a site. If the person on whom you want to input information is not available on the site, you can either contact the site administrator to request that the physician be added or you can simply search for another site that does provide the professional as a part of its database. Sometimes a search containing the words “rating” and the name of your doctor can help direct you to a site that will receive your information as a part of its existing database.

Once you have identified the doctor, click the option to rate or review, and follow the prompts. Most usually you will be asked to score the professional from a low score of one to a high score of ten on pre-determined questions. It is most helpful to both the provider and to future patients who may use the site to guide them to a choice for a physician that you rate honestly and carefully. Even if you have had a horrendous experience, scoring the said person with all ones will negate your purpose. Those who score all tens, all ones, or even a straight rating of any number are likely to be overlooked by future users.

The questions vary from your opinion about bedside manner, to friendliness of office staff, and from convenience of parking to the ease of booking appointments, and it is very unlikely that every question and category will render the same response. Do not give low scores across the board because one triage nurse was having a bad day. Consider the things that you want to know about when looking to hire a care manager, and use doctor reviews to help everyone involved.
