Rating Receipt

If you do not want to log in to submit a rating for your healthcare provider, opting in for a Rating Receipt is the best way to easily and quickly have your rating edited and/or removed.

If did not opt in for a Rating Receipt, you can go through one of the two following options to edit and/or remove the rating you submitted.

Option 1

Flag your rating using the same device you used to submit the rating. Indicate in the pop-up window that you are the original poster and you wish to edit or remove this rating. For rating edits, include the exact information you would like to be edited. 

All flagged ratings will be reviewed by our team and ratings that are in violation of our policies will be removed. Generally, the turnaround time is 3 business days.

Option 2

If there’s no flag option, the rating may still be removed. Please contact us and be sure to reference the following:

1. The URL/link to the provider’s RateMDs profile. Or, the provider's first and last name, specialty, and city.
2. The date of your rating
3. The content of your rating. This will ensure we have the correct rating in case there are multiple ratings posted on the same date.
4. The IP address of the original device you posted the comment with. You can find your IP address simply by typing ‘What’s my IP’ on Google or click here.
