A persistent myth in the U.S. about the Canadian health care system is that, because it's socialized healh care, we get no choice of doctors or facilities. This is in fact false; even in small centres like Moncton we can (and have) changed doctors or specialists. That's why a service like 'Rate My Doctor' can even exist in Canada, much less be useful. It is similar in form and function to 'Rate My Professor' (yes, we halso have choice of professors in out mostly socialized higher education system). This post provides advice to doctors on how to maintain their internet reputation. Hint: care about patients, tell them the truth, provide quality care, and keep your word. And listen to the feedback: "Rather than turn a blind eye to these ratings, doctors should consider monitoring what is being said about them, and take measured steps to deal with these reviews."
