Want patient reviews? We've found a bunch.

How useful are patient reviews in determining whether a doctor is a good match for you? There's a surprising amount of controversy about this, with some doctors encouraging their patients to leave feedback and with others asking their patients to sign a form agreeing to not post patient reviews. We ourselves don't know how much weight patient reviews should be given. We do know, however, that the consumers that we've talked to have repeatedly asked for patient reviews, often as the most important factor in their decision.

Our philosophy has been to aggregate whatever information is publicly available and to allow users to filter by the attributes that are important to them. That is, we want to provide a useful tool through which users can express their preferences.

So, looking for patient reviews? We've found over 500,000 of them. And yes, you can filter by average rating and to some extent, by the number of reviews.
