I feel like this is a symptom of a far larger problem, the need for yelp for medical care in general. Its kind of shitty that there is absolutely no way to quality and price compare medical providers.
Also, good luck with the transition, I have a friend going through something similar, its definitely not an easy thing.

Yelp started out as finding a referral for doctors, and recently Yelp has added public data to their respective hospital pages: http://officialblog.yelp.com/2013/03/study-yelp-ratings-work-for-hospitals-too.html http://officialblog.yelp.com/2013/03/study-yelp-ratings-work...

- maxcan 12y agoIts a start. I feel like zocdoc is good for looking up doctors who take your insurance but because the healthcare system itself is so massively broken, they can't tell you how much a procedure would cost and success rates. I may be wrong though and hope I am.
- nols 12y agoThere is a problem in that in the US at least pricing isn't very transparent, and changes depending on any number of variables. I remember an article a few weeks ago about the problems with doctor reviews online, and especially the inability of doctors to respond because of privacy concerns. I tried to find it but found an older but good article explaining the issue: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/10/your-money/why-the-web-lacks-authoritative-reviews-of-doctors.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/10/your-money/why-the-web-lac...
