About Our Feedback System

What Are Doctiplus Patient Reviews?

Every review on Doctiplus is written by a real patient who completed a verified consultation through our platform — online or in person.

Unlike general healthcare review sites, Doctiplus reviews are tied directly to confirmed appointments. Before publishing a review, we verify that the patient completed the consultation session, ensuring every piece of feedback reflects a genuine medical experience. Reviews cover doctor professionalism, communication quality, accuracy of diagnosis, prescription clarity, and overall satisfaction.

We do not remove negative reviews unless they violate our content guidelines. All ratings — including critical ones — are published transparently so future patients can make informed decisions when choosing a specialist.

Appointment-Verified Reviews OnlyReviews are only accepted from patients who completed a confirmed Doctiplus consultation.
Transparent and UneditedWe publish all reviews as written. Critical feedback is never hidden or suppressed from future patients.
Multi-Criteria Rating SystemPatients rate doctors across five dimensions: communication, professionalism, diagnosis, wait time, and overall care.

Our Review Process

How the Patient Feedback Process Works

Every review you read on Doctiplus has gone through a four-stage verification process. Here is exactly how patient feedback is collected, checked, and published on our platform.

1

Consultation Completed

A patient completes a confirmed appointment — either a video consultation or an in-person visit with a Doctiplus-listed doctor. Only completed sessions unlock the review form.

2

Review Invitation Sent

Within 24 hours of their appointment ending, the patient receives a secure review invitation in their patient dashboard. They are asked to rate five key aspects of their experience.

3

Review Submitted and Verified

The patient submits their star rating and written feedback. Our moderation team checks the review against our community guidelines for authenticity, then approves it for publication.

4

Published on Doctor Profile

The verified review appears publicly on the doctor's profile page and contributes to their overall rating. Doctors may post a professional response, but cannot delete or alter any review.

"I had been struggling with anxiety and depression for over two years. Getting an appointment with a psychiatrist in Canada takes months. Through Doctiplus I was speaking with a board-certified psychiatrist within the same afternoon. She was warm, patient, and genuinely listened. My treatment plan was clear, explained in full, and followed up the next day. This platform gave me access to care I genuinely did not think was within reach."

Review Integrity

Why You Can Trust Doctiplus Reviews

Patient feedback on Doctiplus is held to the highest standards of authenticity. Here is exactly what we do to protect the integrity of every review published on our platform.

Appointment-Verified Reviews

Only patients who have completed a confirmed Doctiplus consultation are permitted to leave a review. We cross-reference every review submission against our appointment database before publishing.

No Review Suppression Policy

Doctors and clinics on Doctiplus cannot request the removal of negative reviews. All ratings are published permanently unless they violate our community guidelines for abusive content.

Human Moderation Before Publishing

Every review is read by a member of our content moderation team before it goes live. We screen for authentic patient experiences and flag any content that appears artificial or misleading.

Patient Identity Confirmed

Reviewer names and locations are shown only with patient consent. Anonymous reviews are permitted, but the consultation record is still verified internally so the rating counts toward a doctor's official score.

Recency and Time-Stamped

All reviews include a date stamp and are sorted by recency by default. Patients can filter by most recent, highest rated, or specific specialty to ensure the feedback they read is current and relevant.

Doctor Response Allowed

Doctors may post a professional written response to any review on their profile. This encourages constructive dialogue and gives patients additional context — but the original review score is never altered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Patient Review FAQs

Questions about how the Doctiplus review system works, how to leave feedback, or how reviews affect doctor rankings? Find answers here.

After your consultation ends, a review invitation will appear in your Doctiplus patient dashboard within 24 hours. You will be prompted to rate your doctor across five criteria and write an optional written comment. Reviews can also be submitted via the link in your post-appointment email.
Yes. You can choose not to display your name or location when your review is published. Your review will appear as submitted by "Anonymous Patient" on the doctor's profile. Your appointment record is still verified internally, so your rating is counted in the doctor's overall score.
Reviews are typically published within 24 to 48 hours of submission. Our human moderation team reads every review before it goes live to ensure it meets our community guidelines. You will receive an email notification when your review has been published.
No. Doctors and clinics listed on Doctiplus cannot request the removal or alteration of any patient review. The only reason a review is removed is if it violates our community guidelines — such as containing abusive language or falsified information. Verified negative reviews are permanent.
Patients rate their Doctiplus doctor across five areas: (1) Communication — how clearly the doctor explained the diagnosis and treatment; (2) Professionalism — conduct and manner during the consultation; (3) Diagnosis Accuracy — confidence in the diagnosis received; (4) Appointment Punctuality — whether the session started on time; (5) Overall Satisfaction — a holistic score for the full experience.
Yes. You can edit or update your review within 14 days of submitting it by logging into your Doctiplus patient dashboard. After 14 days, the review is locked to preserve the integrity of the historical record. If your experience changed significantly after your initial review, you may contact our support team to discuss your options.
Yes. Doctiplus monitors all doctor ratings continuously. Doctors who receive a sustained pattern of low scores or multiple patient complaints are flagged for review by our clinical governance team. In serious cases, doctors may be suspended from accepting new bookings until an investigation is completed.
Yes. Doctiplus collects reviews from both video consultations and in-person clinic appointments. Each review is labelled with the appointment type — online or in-person — so future patients can filter by the consultation method most relevant to them.
Leave an honest review in your patient dashboard — this is the most important step. You can also contact our patient support team directly via the Contact page to report your experience formally. For serious clinical concerns, our team escalates the matter to our medical governance committee within 48 hours.
Every review is linked to a confirmed appointment record in our system. It is technically impossible to leave a review without having completed a consultation. Doctors are explicitly prohibited from offering incentives in exchange for positive reviews. Our moderation team also uses pattern detection to flag any unusual review activity on a doctor's profile.
