RateMDs is one of the most prominent physician review platforms in North America. Like all review platforms, it is vulnerable to fake, malicious, or unfair reviews that do not reflect the quality of care a physician actually provides.
Understanding RateMDs Review Policies
RateMDs allows patients to rate physicians on punctuality, helpfulness, knowledge, and staff quality. Their policies prohibit reviews from non-patients, reviews containing personal attacks, reviews with false factual statements, and duplicate reviews. Physicians who claim their profile have access to reporting tools not available to unclaimed profiles.
