Well, have you? If you do, you're almost guaranteed to find a profile for your practice on sites like HealthGrades.com or RateMDs.com. Your doctors didn't do anything to make this happen; instead, these sites pop up with new physician and practice profiles routinely on their own.
On some sites, like RateMDs.com, your patients are free to leave anonymous comments - I looked up a doctor I know and read some helpful comments like "doctor's nurse is brain dead, staff is rude, surly and incompetent."
How should you respond? Especially when so many patients are using online search engines to find doctors?
