Visit www.drscore.com to Rate Your Doctor (or See How Your Doctor Rates)

The Scleroderma Foundation was an early supporter of the website www.drscore.com. This website has recently been recognized by NBC, which did a story detailing the service and how valuable it has been for both doctors and patients.

From its very humble beginning, www.drscore.com has received nearly 200,000 site visitors and more than 10,000 doctors have been rated across the United States and Washington, D.C.

In recent months, the website has added new patient resources and plans to add new ones in coming months. They will be updating their patient advocacy group list and add more books, articles and links to resources that will provide good information to patients who are ready to take control of their own health care.

Patients who visit the site can rate their doctors on areas such as how well the doctors provide examinations, timeliness, how well they provide treatment, and the quality of the doctor’s staff.

Doctors are increasingly turning to this website to see what their patients think of the work they do.

Website administrators are in the process of analyzing the ratings they have to this point and plan to release a research paper in coming months to provide doctors with simple, significant tips for improving their patient’s satisfaction.

People are relying on the site to find new doctors. And more doctors are joining the site to hear what their patients have to say.

If you have not visited www.drscore.com it could be worth a visit. See how your doctor rates—or be the one to rate then for the first time.
