      Why No Ratings

      Currently, not all doctor ratings and comments are available. The number of rated physicians will increase over time. 
      The more ratings a provider receives, the more accurate and statistically reliable the data is. Providers with less than 30 ratings may not have patient ratings listed on their profiles.
      To learn more about this survey process, visit our about the survey page.
