Doctor rating websites seem to miss the point
I'm really dissapointed with websites rating doctors. Everyone who the doctor has ever agravated speaks up but no one talks about good experiences. Also, nobody seems to rate what really matters. Besides general better business ratings, I'd like to see more information like this for doctor's offices. Am I off base? Did I miss the best ratings website with my web search?
