• Resumen

  • Patients are increasingly seeking information about physicians online. Nearly 60% report that online reviews are important when choosing a physician.1 Because publicly reported quality data are not reported at the physician level, patients must consult physician-rating websites to find such reviews.2 The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to describe the structure of commercial physician-rating websites and the quantity of physician reviews on these sites.
