The problem with star ratings
Every major doctor-review site uses the same broken system: a 1-to-5 star scale based on subjective patient opinions. A 4.2 on one site tells you nothing about a 4.5 on another. Different criteria, different reviewers, different bias.
The GoDoc score fixes this.
What is the GoDoc score?
The GoDoc score is a standardized composite score for physicians, ranging from 300 to 850. It is calculated from a structured patient survey covering thirteen standardized dimensions — from correct diagnosis rates to staff helpfulness. Every patient answers the same questions. Every doctor gets scored the same way.
Why 300–850?
The range mirrors the FICO credit score range — familiar, intuitive, and built for comparison. A score of 720 means the same thing whether the doctor is in New York or Arizona.
How is it different from star ratings?
Star ratings measure feelings. The GoDoc score measures performance. Patients aren't asked "did you like your doctor?" — they're asked "was your diagnosis correct?" and "did you understand your treatment plan?"
What does it take to publish a score?
DoctorsReportCard requires a minimum of 3 patient surveys before a GoDoc score becomes public. This threshold prevents a single disgruntled (or overly enthusiastic) patient from distorting a doctor's score.
