Fixing doctor rating sites

This sounds promising:

. . . some very good efforts (honestly) have been made by ratemds.com and vimo and even Yelp. The problem is that these ratings are typically based upon a single instance of a person who purposely decides to go find their doc info and then rate THAT physician”¦ once. They rarely, if ever, go back and update their rating or follow-up experience.

Well, we’re going to take a different spin at it, because what consumers are used to seeing via amazon.com and other user-generated ratings are the TRENDS of other peoples feedback. I rarely buy a book or service based upon ONE opinion or review”¦ I look at the list of reviews and see if there is a consistency or trend.
