ORLANDO,
Fla. (Oct.
27, 2009).. MyDocHub,
an Orlando web-based company that allows patients to anonymously
review their physicians and the care they provide - has launched
a new feature on its database that offers the same criticism
and compliments for dentists.
In its third year, MyDocHub
now reports more than 400,000 hits monthly from patients who either
offer reviews of their doctors or use the posted criteria to select
new health-care providers, according to Dafe Ojaide, chief executive
officer.
Ojaide, a Nigeria native who
started MyDocHub with Ning Yu, a computer science doctoral candidate
at UCF, said dentist
reviews was a
natural addition.
"We
added dentists since some people see their dentist more than their
physician in a given year," he said.
At
MyDocHub.com patients review and rate their experiences at doctors'
and dentists' offices based on punctuality, waiting times, and
staff efficiency, Ojaide added.
The
site also has a fast-doctor search engine with Google maps, an
on-line appointment feature, health blog and other features geared
towards consumer-generated healthcare.
For

reviews or doctor

MyDocHub
is a University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program
client company based at the Orlando location on E. Colonial Drive.
