Changes to the profile summary
April 27, 2013
In addition to some of the changes highlighted last week, we've continued to tweak the user profile. Now, underneath the provider's name, we have included some additional summary information. For example, our user testing indicated that at least some people would like to see where a doctor graduated from medical school near the top, so we've included that information. Likewise, users no longer need to click on the Reviews tab to see if we've found reviews from around the web. If we have review information, we'll report the aggregate statistics (number of reviews and average rating) underneath the provider's name. One exception is that since Yelp forbids the storing of information from their service, users generally won't know if there are reviews from there unless they click on the Reviews tab. We have also included a summary of disciplinary action information in the same area at the top of the profile.
Hopefully, these summaries make it easier to read a provider's profile. For those who want more details, some links are generally included to help them find out more.
