We’re all familiar with the Zagat’s Restaurant guide but it seems that the service has expanded to include ratings and reviews on medical care… an expansion that has a number of doctors fighting back.

Docs seek gag orders to stop patients’ reviews was the headline in The State, the story detailed how patient reviews were becoming a common consumer rating in Zagat’s and Angie’s List. This expansion has sparked a NC-based neurosurgeon to form a company to fight against the negative posts – since the creation of the company; nearly 2,000 doctors have signed up in hopes of having these negative posts removed (reviews are managed through signed waivers by doctors and patients.)

I had a negative experience with a dermatologist about a year ago; I felt as if my questions were being dismissed and that I was being hurried along. Like most unsatisfied customers, I told my friends and colleagues about my disappointment… its simple word of mouth, but now similar experiences are amplified through a Web 2.0 application.

Marketers, retailers, health care and service companies all know that there are people unhappy with the experience provided… the question becomes how to handle these posts/ negative critiques in a Web 2.0 world. In most instances, if you have the opportunity to present a response (same forum) you gain additional credibility.
