iWantGreatCare Bewertungen 

I had written a review of a particular physician and sent my review to the moderators of this website. It was posted. However, I looked again as I had read bad reviews of iwantgreatcare.org on trustpilot.com. I was immediately apprehensive as my review of the physician had been a poor one. It was atrocious the treatment I had received from him. He had simply ignored me. He did not help me and there was no care involved so I had to write a review. I was hoping that my review would warn him to change his manner and for him to think again why he went into the medical profession in the first place.

I found that my review had been taken down - silently - and only the good one remained on iwantgreatcare.org. It was very obvious that this "good" review was false.
I sent an email to iwantgreatcare.org and I received a reply from them. They told me that the review had been reported and taken down. They quoted their terms and conditions. I just wonder if it was the physician himself who had reported it as he did not like my review. However my review of the physician had already been posted so it was implied by this that it agreed with their terms and conditions. It did agree with them. My review did not contain any swearing. Just plain facts. My email to them included the statement, "Why hadn't they emailed me to tell me this had happened especially as it had already been posted?

I do have to say that the emails from iwantgreatcare.com were polite and solved my problem. My (bad) review was eventually posted BACK onto iwantgreatcare.org. But it had been left up to me to find out that it had been taken down so I am very sceptical about iwantgreatcare.org.

I do have to agree with the many people who have posted comments about iwantgreatcare.org and are angry with this website. I have a suspicion that the reason my review was posted BACK onto iwantgreatcare.org was because I had told them about trustpilot.com and the bad reviews iwantgreatcare has actually got!

This website should be taken down as no-one can trust it to publish reviews - bad ones as well as good ones. Their website says it is not run by the NHS but is so obvious that it is. It is just "lip service" just as the P.A.L.S. department is that is actually situated in the hospital.

P.A.L.S. stands for Patient Advice Liaison Service. Do not use this department to complain as you will only get the answer that they have not done anything wrong.

We have nowhere where we can tell people about some of the medical profession who are actually paid by us through our taxes to care for us. I cannot find another website that is not run by the NHS. Isn't that strange. Do not use this website .

UPDATE: As my bad review was eventually posted back onto iwantgreatcare.org I have continually searched for it. It is still up. However, there is a place where members of the public can "click" to say that they find the review helpful. My "bad" review has "7 clicks". The "good" review has "78 clicks". The "78 clicks" is rather unrealistic. It seems that the physician's only thought is his online personna and not how bad he really was!

ANOTHER UPDATE: As of January 1 2019 The ability for the person who has read the review to press "Do you find this useful" button has been deleted. In my view this should have been done earlier as anyone can press this "hyperlink" to show that the review is helpful - even the physicians themselves.

UPDATE As at 5 April 2019 I have decided to change my rating to only 1 STAR as I had to find out for myself that my review had been taken down. That is unacceptable especially when it says that iwantgreatcare.org is unbiased towards the medical profession.

ANOTHER UPDATE I received a reply to this review in August 2019. This website reiterated their terms and conditions regarding reviews but this did not answer why MY REVIEW was taken out off the public domain especially as they put it back when I told them that they could not prosecute me regarding the Defamation Law. It does not address ANY of my above concerns. I am unable to trust this website.
Regarding Pals, colleagues and I have certainly used this department and the answer we have ALWAYS received is that "they have not done anything wrong".

I will NEVER change my review above of iwantgreatcare.org as this is what happened to me. I will NEVER give a review on this website of any practitioner as it will still be removed.

I cannot and will NEVER change my mind on how I was treated by a doctor in James Cook hospital AND how I was treated by the website iwantgreatcare.org.

I standby everything I have written in this review.

Like many others here, I posted an honest review of a doctor who had given me very poor treatment, and had treated me contemptuously. I spent some time, crying throughout, writing about what had been a very distressing couple of sessions, only to go on the site today and see that it has not been posted. Furthermore, a 1 star review which had already been there appears to have been removed and replaced with a 5 star review written today. Believe what everyone here is saying. A corrupt website. My suspicions about my doctor's ethics confirmed.

I left an totally honest review of an arrogant specialist doctor who gave me great concern about the poor way I was being treated. The review was published and remained on the site for some time after which it was 'magically' removed, leaving only a couple of good reviews showing.
I assume that the doctor has paid for the removal of the review, making the site completely dishonest and worthless, and misrepresenting the honest views of concerned patients who like myself wish to warn others of poor service.
In my opinion the site is purely a moneymaking venture for the site owners, who should be ashamed of themselves for abusing the trust of patients who are worried about their treatment. I sincerely hope it can be closed down.

Biased and for that reason useless to patients.

They only post good reviews, anything else is stopped by the mods.

My honest review about useless and uneducated "doctor" was never published.
They claim they’re independent but they're heavily linked to the NHS.

dont bother, its overly biased towards the profession

Receiving a reply from 'iWantGreatCare' over a year later. Despite what they have said, they have not posted any of my three reviews. This is quite a dishonest website and as they are posing as a review platform for healthcare it is highly immoral.

I've checked some of the comments against health care professionals that treated me and find they are largely accuarate.

The website does not allow you to update or review doctors. Very poor but my experience was positive

Having had problems driving at night I discovered I had developed Cataract and needed RLE surgery. I also had a complex short-sighted prescription so in effect I was getting rid of two birds with one stone. It was my first ever surgical procedure so naturally I was vigilant on whom to do the operation with. I went to Optegra, Optical Express and QE Hospital where I was under a consultant. Optegra were helpful and the consultant Mr Mark Weval was very helpful in explaining the difference between multi focal and mono focal lens,

After careful consideration and spoken to both I opted for the ophthalmic surgeon Mr Timothy Matthews at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. I was 100% confident in his ability to do a good procedure under best practices he’s friendly, welcoming and genuinely interested in helping. He answered all my questions in a very professional and concise manner which made me feel more confident and stress-free and nothing seems too much trouble for him often going beyond what is expected to assist.

Fast forward 2 months. I have both eyes done the second operation procedure completed two days ago under a tropical anaesthetic. Perfect distance vision and reading glasses which I don’t mind wearing as most people have them now. The hospital itself is the biggest in Europe it’s newly built so very fresh and clean with lots of light and gardens. So in conclusion Thanks you to the Mr timothy Matthews consultant surgeon t for all your help and guidance, its 5 Stars from me!

I was seen and treated by Dr Ballaro ( Urologist )@ Spire Roding Hospital ) excellent service and very caring Doctor.

Absolutely useless. The website makes grand claims that it's "Making it easy for patients to provide feedback on their care" and "Trusted, independent information to help others find great care" but its registration procedure which is mandatory for leaving feedback makes it abundantly clear that it's for professionals only: therefore it is not making it easy for patients to provide feedback and it is not impartial.

Both of those issues are extremely obvious in the utterly fictitious gold-star reviews that it is giving health services that are notorious amongst patients for utterly failing. An absolute waste of space and potentially dangerously misleading.

i nice site to express your reviews, doctor Malik was my surgeon in the Mealor Hospital, he was such a lovely man, put me at my ease , he talked me through every thing and had such a lovely bedside, i would recomemend that Betsi Cadwalleder be struck of as a the register

The same common theme - they appear only to publish 'good' reviews. My review was not good and I really felt duty bound to warn others about a consultant surgeon. It was well written and factual, but never got published. No further comment necessary.

I have read other reviews of people here saying that their reviews were taken off possibly by the Doctors they have reviewed, my experience is that my review of a Doctor is still there, so I am very pleased about that, I think anyone other than the reviewer should not be allowed to delete the review.
as it defeats the whole object.

I posted a negative review of a doctor on this site because my treatment by this doctor was appalling. My review was later removed. This website can't be trusted at all if they can just choose to remove any review which shows how a doctor has treated a patient terribly.

Do NOT believe anything on iWantGreatCare.org. Any negative review can and probably will be removed by the doctor. Often suddenly replaced with multiple 5 star reviews. Junk site!

Update: The Kelley Smith review that appeared just hours after my review (and after I contacted iWantGreatCare.org and let them know about my review) is fake. The "Kelley Smith" review here is copy and pasted from a response iWantGreatCare.org gave to me by email when I notified them that I would be going public with their fraudulent business model.

To be absolutely clear, they profit by allowing medical professionals to remove negative reviews. This makes the site worse than useless for anyone to use as a genuine information source regarding a medical professional they are considering seeing.

The only negative reviews on iWantGreatCare.org that remain are for cases where the medical professional doesn't pay them to remove the review.

Be extremely wary of the fake Kelley Smith review.

In the private response from iWantGreatCare, 'Kelley Smith' claimed that my second review (that they silently removed) on iWantGreatCare violated their terms and conditions, despite them explicitly approving of the review for compliance with these terms. She stated the reason for removal of the edited, compliant and approved review was that the subject of the review did not like the review. This was the second silent removal of the same review.

To be clear, iWantGreatCare is a scam.

A family member's honest review of a medical professional was removed because they said 'avoid at all costs' after giving a detailed explanation of why the medical professional should be avoided at all costs. They specifically told them that this was against their terms of conditions because it was deemed to be 'attacking' and that they could only repost with this sentence removed.

It appears that they remove comments as the medical professional pleases.

It is dangerous for patients seeking honest opinions to have these reviews removed.

This site removes negative reviews. I made a negative review of a doctor and they removed the review on the doctor's request. This makes the site untrustworthy.
