Is there a review site for doctors? It would seem to me that such blatant profiteering at the expense (both health and moneywise) of patients ought to be exposed.


Yes, ZocDoc. Also Yelp to some degree.

The reviews, in my experience, are less useful than you might imagine. People have very different ideas of what makes a good doctor and they seem much more likely to write reviews when they're not happy.


There are a few, and as you can expect, they open some huge legal cans of worms: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/10/your-money/why-the-web-lac... Posting a picture of a cockroach in the bathroom is one thing, essentially accusing a doctor of malpractice is another entirely. Stepping on local Medical Boards' toes doesn't help either.
