Should I Be Able to Find Patient Testimonials for a Specific Doctor Easily?

By 1554anon on 07 Jul 2012

A doctor on your site recommended Dr. Vito Quatela in the Rochester, NY area to address my concerns. His website does not have patient testimonials on it and I find so very little on the internet. He came highly recommended but this causes me concern. Does anyone know about his reputation as a facial plastic surgeon?

That's a great question! I found two reviews for Dr. Quatela here:

I think the number of reviews you'll find depends somewhat on the doctor's practice. Some doctors are very active in social media and actively ask patients to write reviews, while others don't mention it at all.

I think most doctors have a few mentions/reviews online by now. Not having an abundance of them isn't necessarily a red flag (but it is really helpful when they do have them!).
