American Medical News Share to FacebookShare to Twitter (12/27, O'Reilly) reported, "Even as physicians face increasing pressure to perform well on measures of patient satisfaction, they may take some comfort in knowing that most patients rate their own doctors very highly." Research "based on nearly 15,000 patient online ratings between 2004 to 2010" indicated that "the average physician rating is 9.3 out of 10." American Medical News added, "The less time that patients spend in the waiting room and the more time they spend in the exam room with a physician, the higher the doctor's rating, the study said." The research was published in Health Outcomes Research in Medicine.
