This site enables patients in Canada and the U.S. to rate their doctors or dentists. Rating categories include punctuality, helpfulness, and knowledge. Scores range from 1 to 5, where 5 if the highest. Since anonymous ratings and comments are permitted, there may be a temptation for some patients to submit extreme comments, or even for doctors to write their own reviews. The webmaster reserves the right to edit the site to remove material which may be libelous. Many doctors question the validity of the site and characterize its information as “gossip”. They would prefer that patients report serious problems to the proper medical disciplinary agencies.
