Awareness and Perception of Google® Reviews Among French GPs.

The objective of this study was to assess the perception of French general practitioners (GPs) and the impact of the Google® online physician rating system. We questioned the French GPs with a self-administered questionnaire. A total of 412 GPs had answered the complete questionnaire. 83.25% of respondents did not validate the relevance of the physician rating websites. The most decried limitations were the lack of validity of these opinions and the negative impact on physicians.
