I think it's great for doctors to solicit feedback from departing patients to see if there is anything they could be doing better. But on a related note: I'm not sure about the value of using patient satisfaction surveys to evaluate physician performance generally. Patients will love doctors who tell them what they want to hear, over-prescribe antibiotics, over-prescribe powerful pain killers, go along with non-vaccination, prescribe homeopathic remedies or similar nonsense.... I think most people are not in a good position to evaluate the quality of care they're getting outside of things like bedside manner, so I wouldn't pay much attention to reviews for doctors.
