Over the last 5 years, a number of physician rating websites have sprung up, giving patients the opportunity to rate their physicians and practices. A recent study found over 30 sites offering physician ratings.
At CareMEDICA, we strive to provide the best service to you, our patient. If we address your needs to your satisfaction and provide you with a pleasant experience, we hope you will tell us and others. If we at any time fall short of your expectations, we hope that you will let us know immediately and allow us an opportunity to rectify the situation.
If you have recently come to see us and would like to let us know about your experience, please take our own survey. We encourage our patients to rate us and we do read these reviews!

The cost of healthcare in the United States has steadily increased and has now reached crisis proportions. The federal government has launched a number of initiatives aimed at reducing healthcare costs and improving the quality of healthcare services.
