In general, we ask that you use good judgment and common sense when posting on the CareSeek family of sites, including NursesRecommendDoctors.com.

Regarding Ratings and Reviews

It is our underlying premise that physicians and caregivers practice under a professional code of ethics, and that inherently they are in the healthcare business to help their patients.  There are certain styles of practice, however, that vary between care providers.  We know that reports from patients and others who work closely with physicians provide valuable information when choosing a health professional.  This personal feedback helps to manage patient expectations, allows physicians to improve patient and employee satisfaction, and can be used to improve the quality of care.

Regarding Care Tips

Your own experience and personal knowledge of healthcare is important to others, and when you share what has worked and not worked for you, you are helping others make better health decisions.  Avoid writing as if you are practicing medicine by prescribing drugs or treatments, but do tell us how you and those you care for have responded to your methods and techniques.

¨        Be Patient-friendly

Your input should be helpful to others seeking care. Be balanced and fair, understanding that CareSeekers are looking to find the right doctor for their individual needs and helpful tips for managing their own and other’s care. 

¨        Be Original and Insightful

Your own experience is unique and valuable. Write more than just a word or two. Tell us how you felt and what you liked and didn’t like.  Focus on your own personal experiences and facts that you know are true.  Don’t share other people’s stories, hearsay or second-hand information.

¨        Use Good Taste

When sharing or explaining personal health conditions, understand that some readers may be uncomfortable with graphic descriptions or sexually explicit content.  While CareSeek does not edit submitted content, we do reserve the right to remove what we feel is inappropriate content.

¨        No Venting or Crudeness

You are here to help others, not vent your frustrations or be personally insulting to another. Do not use profanity, obscenity, threats, prejudiced comments, hate speech or defamatory content.  If you have had a bad experience, share it as constructive criticism, or to warn patients of possible problems they may encounter.

¨        No Commercial Advertising or Illegal Activities

Do not publish content, web addresses, or messages designed to promote your or another’s business activities.  Do not engage in or promote illegal activities or content.

¨        Report Inappropriate Content
