Wisely choose help in choosing doctors
According to the AP, when searching for healthcare information, such as choosing a doctor, patients should consider several "key factors."
Notably, patients should rely on word of mouth, as well as various online rating sites. Still, it is important to understand that "all sites are not created equal, so be skeptical.
Many sites, including RateMDs.com, allow anonymous postings, which raises credibility questions. Some, like Healthgrades.com, require payment to see reports."
