Why You Can Trust Healthgrades Reviews

Along with comprehensive data about a doctor's qualifications, it's important to know what real patients say about their experiences with a provider. That's why Healthgrades takes a series of steps to protect the quality and integrity of our patient reviews.

  • We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don't include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
  • All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
  • Doctors cannot pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
  • Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Why We Should Be Thanking our Healthcare Workers

In the United States, the healthcare system employs more than 18 million people. These doctors, nurses, and first responders are on the front lines in the fight against disease, injury, disability, and death. They touch countless lives throughout their careers and are there for some of the best—and worst—moments of our lives.

By itself, healthcare is already a stressful profession. And by now, you're probably also aware of the toll the COVID-19 pandemic is taking on healthcare workers. That's why it's so important to say thank you to medical staff and show that we are grateful for their care. Without these dedicated individuals, our health, and the health of our families and communities, is at risk.

Tips for Leaving a Great Doctor Review

From restaurants to hotels to online purchases, people are increasingly turning to review websites to guide their decision-making. Doctor ratings and reviews are no exception. In fact, according to a recent survey, 70% of patients rely on online reviews, like those on Healthgrades.com, to help them select a healthcare provider.
