I don't know if this has already been brought up here before but I read about a website in our local paper last week that I think might be interesting and helpful. It's called RateMDs.com- You can browse doctors, by name, in the U.S. and it looks like in Canada and other countries too. It has ratings by actual patients of each doctor. There's no guarantee that your particular dr. will be there but several of mine and my husband's were. It's all anonymous and while I'm not advocating that people necessarily bash their dr. but I do think that opinions from patients might be helpful.
