KANSAS CITY, Kan., Jan. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Each year, hundreds of thousands of new doctor reviews and ratings are featured on a leading medical review website known as Vitals.com. Patients write about their experience and rate their doctor on several components of care, including bedside manner, doctor-patient face time, and degree of follow-up. Patients also provide their doctor with an overall rating, and Vitals analyzes these ratings annually, along with other quality measures, to identify yearly winners of doctor awards.
