About Me

How I Can Help

I've been giving advice and help on consumer matters for many years. A good part of each of my member newsletters was always devoted to these concerns.

Lets you see how much money a given doctor has received from (named) drug companies. For example, it shows that Dr. Minh Mach in 2009-10 received $41,594 from four such outfits. Although many drug companies do not disclose this information, the data that is available may give you a good idea of a doctor's bias.

This is primarily a collection of patient ratings for a narrow range of listed practitioners. Amazingly, these ratings may not appear as submitted, and, even more amazingly, the company shows no interest in correcting such errors.

  • Avvo

8/30/11

Avvo publishes consumer reviews that paint an excessively rosy picture of the respective practitioners. That's because Avvo will arbitrarily reject reviews on the basis of what it deems to be "personal attacks, insulting comments, or accusations."
