Dr. Ayoub has once again been recognized as a Patients’ Choice doctor and received the following letter:
Dear Dr. Ayoub:
Congratulations! The people have spoken – and you have won a 2014 Vitals Patient’s Choice Award.
For the past seven years, Vitals Patients’ Choice has recognized top-performing doctors based on the reviews and ratings collected during the calendar year. Doctors need an average rating of 3.5 or higher out of 4-star rating system and have a medical license in good standing with no sanctions.
Of all the nation’s active doctors, only 5 percent were accorded this honor by their patients in 2014.
Reviews are considered an important quality indicator for nearly every major consumer decision online – and more patients than ever are using reviews to search for a doctor. In 2013, only 25 percent of U.S. adults consulted online doctor-rating sites. Yet in 2014, that number jumped to 42 percent, according to an annual poll in a recent study.
An icon denoting your award will be prominently displayed on your Vitals profile, signaling to new and existing patients that you’re highly regarded by your community as the very best caregiver. Annually, more than 100 million people search for doctors on our sites.
Doctors are rated by patients in seven categories: ease of appointment, promptness, courtesy of staff, bedside manner, accurate diagnosis, amount of time spent listening and follow up care.
We’re proud to recognize doctors like you who bring compassion and expertise to the practice of medicine. On behalf of your patients, thank you for providing superlative care.
Sincerely,
Mitch Rothschild
CEO
