Healthgrades Reviews

I wish I could assign 0 stars. Elizabeth ** PA. From NYU Urgent Care Misdiagnosed me on Tuesday 6/9/26. She diagnosed me with a "cold" going around. She prescribed some OTC meds (**) & some prescription pills that did nothing. When I called NYU, I specifically asked for an internist. They are liars & never forwarded my request! An institution like NYU could certainly do much better than that! Four days later (today), I went to another urgent care, not associated with NYU, who diagnosed me with bronchitis. Since I had this before I was sure that's what I had all along. NYU never even asked if I was prone to bronchitis or pneumonia which I am. The new PA today gave me an antibiotic & I started feeling better shortly after.

Had a disgruntled ex write a nasty review about me. Contacted Healthgrades about it being fraudulent, their reply was basically that because it "seems legit" they can't remove it. There is no requirement for reviewers to prove in any way, shape or form that they were an actual patient of the provider. Meanwhile, I can't prove it's fraudulent without violating HIPPA. I don't even want an account with this nasty website and now it's the first thing that shows up when someone searches my name.

I wrote a request regarding a review because it is untrue and I never receive a response.

Healthgrades suck! They will not allow the patient to report THEIR TRUE EXPERIENCE with jacked up doctors. They protect them at all costs! They will force you to change your review if it's negative or not favorable. What the hell do they exist for if they won't allow the patient to report THEIR TRUE EXPERIENCE??? This Is What Got Rejected:

Dr. ** is a 5 star Dentist! He has been my Dentist for over 30 years. I still have all of my teeth and so do my 90+ year old Mother and Father who are also patients. Dr. ** is trustworthy, very knowledgeable in Dentistry, competent, thorough, Family oriented, Compassionate care, and supportive of office staff, also easy to talk to and listens. He does very conservative Dentistry and would rather save teeth than run a crown factory! I am his patient for life. Very grateful to have the Best of the Best Dentists!!!!

Healthgrades.com only allows the positive reviews to be published. All negative reviews are automatically flagged and the writers receive emails forcing them to edit or delete. Tyrannical censorship at work! Do not trust the reviews on their website, I did and I got ripped off by a dentist who a research using other sources revealed the horrible truth of abuse and fraud going back to 15 years. I do not recommend this company. In fact I hope the government authorities investigate and put a stop to false and misleading advertisement by them.

Dr ** is trustworthy doctor, very knowledgeable in his field. I have been knowing him for the past 13 years and now travel over 315 miles to my appointment in September 2025...because of the trust! He has the best bedside manner; easy to talk to and listens. He cares about his patients and not money, his staff Nancy and the team are awesome!

On October 15, 2025 I posted in Healthgrades a review for Dr. **, Urologist at Hartford Hospital, Suite ** rated one star that was the correct and fair ranking for his medical services provided to me for a few months. Healthgrades refused to post my review claiming all kinds of false and invalid reasons although I spoke the truth, I did not use foul language, insults or obscenities as they just wanted from me to revise my review and make it positive ignoring the reality that I cannot do it. This company does not have any right to censor my review and they are in violation of the free speech guaranteed by the US Constitution. I wish I could grade Healthgrades minus 5. Emil **, Hartford, CT.

This review is for Dr. Alyssa K. **, MD with Chesapeake Urology. My husband has an appointment yesterday September 29, 2025 at the Salisbury MD office with Dr. **. I was in the appointment with him. Dr ** professionalism was questionable. I had several questions during this visit. Dr **'s responses and behavior towards me were evasive. She appeared to have an attitude as I presented questions regarding my husband's health. I was not sure if it was because of my ethnicity (non-white) or gay. She would not give me eye contact as she discussed my husband's health. Never in my 66 years have I experienced this in my professional life prior to my retirement or now with any other doctor or their staff. As a doctor, you treat the patient and show courtesy and respect to their family members. Both my husband and I will be finding another urologist outside of Chesapeake Urology that is equipped with good interpersonal skills with the patient and their family.

Dear Public: I have learned that Healthgrades is NOT AN HONEST ORGANIZATION. In my own medical history, Healthgrades has covered up life shortening malpractice by a Doctor. The certainty is that Healthgrades is only interested in making doctors look good, and COVERS UP LIFE SHORTENING MALPRACTICE IN MY CASE. I no longer have faith in the integrity of Healthgrades. I would like to add more detail, but I am too upset at this time.

Healthgrades and other sites like it are a way for these companies to extort physicians. They give a platform for people to air grievances, whether professional or PERSONAL. Then Healthgrades makes you purchase your already created profile in order to have any control over reviews, real or fake. So, if you don’t want to pay the extortion fee, those fake reviews will stay live on the internet for everyone to see.

Had appointment far out as out all ready, then called a month before and pushed appointment far out! Reception, I believe is family member, she never ask proper questions. I had to asked her to send I'll with proper coding, so I will quick getting surprise bills months after visit when I have paid copay! It's like they were trying to run me off, my kind. They deserve my time. Unpleasant people, the person that referred me said she nothing like her Dad (dentists). Gave me antibiotics make me bleed out,150 mg. Really. Purposely done. Never tell a person everything you know, just see what they do and how they treat you, she doesn't care for ** PEOPLE! I WORKED IN MEDICAL FIELD UNTIL INJURIES!

Disgusting customer service. Extremely pushy and rude. They call over and over and when you kindly try to end the call they don't allow you to get off of the phone and or they keep calling back and harassing you.

I'm here because of the calls I get every day like 20-40 of them. I never had anything to do with them but they keep calling and insisting that I give them my Medicare info and start swearing if I don't.

Why and how is this website still running???? Why do they force physicians to disclose their age? Is privacy not respected anymore? They also force you to keep an account open with no option to delete your account or opt out. Terrible.

I am a physician, recently retired; and I contacted this company about the profile they have made on their site. They have me listed as working at my previous place of employment as well as three other facilities, where I never practiced a day in my career. I informed them of this, and that now due to retirement I was not practicing at all. They did respond, apparently they wanted me to prove I was not practicing at these facilities by obtaining some sort of documentation. Of course I am not going to do that; I provided Healthgrades this information as a help to potential patients who may be confused by Healthgrades' disinformation. I notified them that if they actually wish to know where a doctor practices, they could simply look at the websites of the facilities where they state the doctor works, and could easily see that the doctor in question is not employed there.

Reported an obvious fake review to Healthgrades. The review stated we 'used a 16 gauge needle' for anesthesia on a person's nose. The reviewer states we replied it was all we had and ended the comment as 'ouch' more like a joke. The review and comment has been flagged for years as well as a reply, but Healthgrades continues to justify the review and now has removed my reply.

This company bullies health care provider and is a disgrace to the profession. They steal/buy Healthcare provider info and opens an account without consent from Healthcare provider. On that profile anyone can write whatever they want.... From Exes leaving bad reviews to ruin an ex's partner career to no tracking on stalking patients who can l go on a lie about their experiences using anonymous profiles and the Healthcare provider is not allowed to take down the review or appeal it in anyway. It is impossible to get a hold of company either leaving the doctors to deal with the aftermath and disastrous consequences that such practices bring on our reputation. Waiting for a mass collective lawsuit from Healthcare providers on this company. Maybe that will start a Health care provider bullying awareness

The first review on Kenneth ** was made AFTER I retired 8 years ago! The poor quality work was done by another Dentist. I would like them to remove this false information. PRACTICE MOJO is the company that gave my patients the opportunity to review me anonymously after their appointments. I had no ability to edit PRACTICEMOJO.COM. I urge Google to stop placing this false review as the first thing that appears when my name is googled.

The Real experiences of patients are censored if negative. This means it is Not valid source of true lived-experience patient reviews. It is another fluff site that deceives patients attempting to collect authentic information for informed decision making. Shameful.

Worst website by far, unable to reply to any of the unverified complaints or reviews, totally controlled by the website itself, manipulated and added to the people who pays. Shame on you Healthgrades for such a website bringing the worst service to the community. No wonder your rating are extremely poor. This is from other feedback.

A year, I had written a review of a dentist which it initially refused to publish. After publishing a review of this site on Consumer Affairs, I finally published it. The same thing happened again. A wrote a review of a doctor a few days, and it is still not published. However, Webmd. Google, Yelp, and Vitalis all published it within a few hours. I think there is some problem with the site.

Healthgrades is owned by an entertainment company and we all know what that means. The reviews are fake and intended to disrupt qualified clinicians from being able to work. Welcome to the future of healthcare. It’s best to decide for yourself how a clinician is useful to your health without entertainment intervening to disrupt the healthcare providers.

Healthgrades does not allow for patients to provide honest feedback. When I posted that a provider was “inappropriate,” Healthgrades blocked the comment for the following reasons: “Just the word ‘Inappropriate’ would suggest the provider did something legally wrong. You need to explain that. Yet, if you mean it in a legal matter then you need to contact the medical board or authorities not Healthgrades.”

Healthgrades will not respond to my emails as a provider. They have allowed patients to make fraudulent accusations and will NOT respond online. They are damaging healthcare providers livelihood and reputations.

I just learned I’ve been slandered by a drug seeker and 2 extreme entitled patients on this site, over and over again. I cover urgent care in a rural underserved setting and a large portion of patients we see have been kicked out of practices, though there is also a large subset that simply can’t access their PCPs and do need care. Heartbreaking because the only people who take time to post such malicious reviews are the angry Karens and Kens that try to bully doctors into doing what they want. I started soliciting reviews from trusted patients whose reviews have not shown up despite confirmation of receipt and acceptance. There is no recourse for doctors, and this makes me reluctant to continue practicing in such an area if my reputation is compromised by a few vindictive psychologically unstable humans who remain dedicated to slandering my name.

I wrote a truthful review twice that did not get posted on Healthgrades, It was not anything but facts. They are biased. I got injured, went to Dr Dorothy ** a for an IME. I clearly told her I was having problems, pointed to where I was having problems and explained my problems. There was no language barrier, she speaks English, I speak English. My claim was denied right after that appointment and I eventually had to use a cane to get around often because every step would hurt in the areas I told her and pretty much four years after getting injured I still have chronic pain and issues in the same places I told that doctor during that appointment. I've literally been in some sort of pain every day for going on four years. No point in having a suite dedicated to giving reviews if you are going to be biased in filtering out the truthful negatives.

Healthgrades publishes reviews on various providers, however there is never an update when new reviews are posted, or corrections when fictitious reviews are posted. Where is the responsible publishing? Their reviews are meaningless.

Healthgrades have allowed patients to make false accusations about a provider and does not limit what they say. When you reach out for help they do not answer your emails. The provider's reputation is damaged by this site and is unfair.

Healthgrades doesn’t match their Star ratings with the reality of negative reviews written. Basically, they do not tell the full truth. They also censor many reviews by not allowing negative FACTS about certain psychiatrists. Do not trust Healthgrades.

I have written several negative reviews of providers I have seen and they are never posted. It seems that health providers are given first crack at rejecting a review from being posted. Healthgrades is not reliable information.

I find that Healthgrades removes honest reviews that show the providers in a bad light. Give and honest review and they will tell you your language was harmful or hurtful. So review but don't give the honest interaction, it's okay for a provider to be unprofessional and even detrimental to a patient's health- but you be nice cause they have a degree.

This website deliberately removes positive reviews for Doctors and Providers and only leaves negative reviews on their website most of which are from practices a provider may no longer or not even a part of, some of which are by disgruntled patients and some of the reported "experiences" with providers are not necessarily true and are malicious. This provides a completely skewed view of doctors and provider reviews on Healthgrades. The reviews from this website are completely useless and should not be relied on by patients. A trusted source will be on a doctor's practice website or personal webpage and even word of mouth, if you want accurate reviews on any doctor. Do not use this trashy website.

As a patient and provider, Healthgrades are doing a disservice. They do not take into account the accuracy of the information provided which is often from a disgruntled patient. We all know that health care system has its challenges and there are 2 sides to every story. This platform does not give providers the opportunity to respond. If you want an accurate description of what a provider, ask their staff or check out their social media!

I used Healthgrades to pick doctors and dentists. I believed that site was trustworthy and accurate until I picked a dentist misled by the rating of another supposed dentist whose phone was for the location where this supposed dentist works. However, later, I found that I was treated by another dentist whose ratings were much lower than the supposed dentist. I became suspicious of this dentist and returned to Healthgrades to recheck the picture. I realized that this dentist's picture and qualifications on Healthgrades were not the same but used to attract patients with falsehood.
