More than 30 million Americans visit Healthgrades every month to research, compare and select physicians, and more than 95% will make an appointment within a week.

"In just six months, we've accumulated more than 175 patient reviews thanks to Doctor.com and Healthgrades, and we receive at least five calls a day from new patients who find us online and tell us that our online reputation is the reason they'd like to make an appointment," said Dr. Shari Sperling of Sperling Dermatology," Our business would not be growing at the rate it is if it weren't for Doctor.com and Healthgrades."
