I got a text message after my annual physical asking me to rate my experience online.

Same thing after the dermatologist.

Who the hell cares how non-medical professionals rate an MD's performance?

Well, if my dermatologist makes patients drop their pants and checks their prostates, I’d like to know so I can avoid that doc to have my mole
Checked out.

Have you been out and about in the last 5-10 years? Our society is getting more stupid and gullible by the hour. They’ll believe anything the TV or internet tells them.

Everyone wants a survey these days.

I went to the dentist and got an email asking to leave them a good survey

I'm going to the doctor. I'm not seeing Sinatra.

Is there any customer satisfaction survey that requires the customer to be an expert in the field?

Had one of those myself. It was a real pain in the arse.

Like for real. When the pain meds were exhausted a week later I thought I was going to die. Like a hot damn poker in your a-hole.

5* reviews --> more potential new clients coming to them --> more money

It's not rocket science

I know when the food in a restaurant sucks.

I got no idea if an MD performed a procedure correctly since medical outcomes are not guaranteed.

ETA: a physician I know told me that "Doctor X is uncaring and inconsiderate" translates to "won't give me oxycodone".

There is plenty to review of a physician. Office experience, staff, quickness of being seen, etc. Does a patient really know if the physician is actually a good doctor? Not necessarily; however, you can still tell a lot by a doctor based on how much knowledge he passes along to you, how thorough he is and how well he manages his time with you.


You're wrong on this.

Some practices ask for confidential ratings, some ask you to post publicly. There are lots of sites that publish physician ratings.

Physicians run late for lots of reasons outside their control.

Appearance of the office and friendliness of the front-desk staff are among the least relevant things you can rate.
