RateMDs.com is a free online directory of medical professionals and healthcare providers. The website allows patients to rate their doctors and share their experiences, providing a platform for patient feedback and helping others make informed decisions about their healthcare.

Overview[edit | edit source]

RateMDs.com was launched in 2004 by John Swapceinski, who also founded RateMyProfessors.com. The website has grown to include over 2 million ratings for doctors and dentists in the United States and Canada. It also includes ratings for other healthcare providers such as chiropractors, physiotherapists, and more.

Features[edit | edit source]

RateMDs.com allows users to search for a healthcare provider by name, specialty, or location. Each provider's profile includes their contact information, a map of their location, and patient ratings. Patients can rate their provider on several criteria, including staff, punctuality, helpfulness, and knowledge. They can also leave a written review of their experience.

Criticism[edit | edit source]

While RateMDs.com has been praised for giving patients a voice and helping them make informed decisions, it has also faced criticism. Some healthcare providers have expressed concern about the potential for false or misleading reviews. Others have raised privacy concerns, as the site allows users to post reviews anonymously.
