Where can I find reviews about doctors? (college, license)

[amy_sk]

Hi,
Is there any website that you go to? I usually google the names of the doctor but it is very rare that I come up with a patient review!!
I have often wondered that we find reviews about almost anything online except for doctors and doctor reviews in my view are quite important.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

I use www.ratemds.com. It is user-generated ratings. It's a similar site to ratemyprofessor.com used by college students. Sometimes the postings are by disgruntled patients, but for the most part it's just people sharing their experiences.

Florida Medical License Search

You can look up if there have been any claims against the physician or if they were ever impaired through the Board of Medicine.
