Doctors say negative online reviews of their services can ruin their reputations, but consumer advocates say patients have a right to post reviews on their care.

Doctors need some sort of outside quality control. What they have isn't working. I have been to two different doctors with the same problem several times. They finally got it right. When I told one of the doctors that he was wrong and we knew now what the problem was he just shrugged it off and said that he was rarely wrong. Well he was wrong four times. In my world if I do it wrong I don't get paid. If I did a portrait for him and it looked like someone else, would I get paid? If I faux finished the wrong room would I get paid? This is particularly important when you are on medicaid and are only allowed a certain number of visits per year. They get paid no matter how bad their performance is and even if they mess up bad enough for a lawsuit if just gets their insurance companies. Fight back.

No doctor is going to stop my right to free speech. It is the first amendment to the constitution. There are sites where people can write a review without giving their names. Even if I had to give my name I would still write a review of a doctor. I guess I am lucky. A while ago my doctor gave me a questionaire to review him online. The hospital where I get all my regular tests sends forms for patients after every test or procedure to write reviews and return them through the U. S. mail.
