Vitals Celebrates Ten Years of Doctor Reviews
Over the past ten years, patients and doctors have come to embrace doctor reviews. But it wasn’t always that way. When Vitals (@vitals) was founded in 2007, it was the only website dedicated to collecting reviews from patients on every doctor in America. At the time, consumers were reviewing restaurants and hotels on sites like Yelp and CitySearch. But there was a backlash against doctor reviews from physicians. Find out how far Vitals has come and who relies on their doctor reviews now a days.
