Abstract
Internet sites where you can rate physicians have become increasingly popular, but these sites can pose numerous problems for physicians, especially psychiatrists. The dilemma occurs when patients or nonpatients post negative reviews and false information about physicians. The psychiatrist–patient relationship is particularly unique, especially in the involuntary setting. Online reviews by some patients, especially those who have received involuntary psychiatric treatment, may not be the most informative or helpful to improve the standards of care. In this article, we discuss steps psychiatrists can take once a negative review has been posted and recommendations for the future. [ Psychiatr Ann . 2016;46(12):715–716, 718–719.]
