How accurate are patient reviews of doctors?

By Forinfos - 07/09/2025 - 0 comments

The accuracy of online reviews of physicians varies significantly, according to US News. Only about 5 percent of patients take the time to write physician reviews, as of 2014. Patients may be motivated to leave reviews after particularly positive or negative experiences.

Physician reviews do not rate variables such as billing issues, excessive medical testing or patient improvement. However, they can be valuable tools in assessing a prospective doctor's bedside manner.

Online physician ratings reflect the subjective impressions of individual patients. Patients looking for doctors should seek opinions from family and friends in addition to viewing physician ratings and reviews online.
