In the general case it's usually not possible to accurately review an individual physician's performance. The software developers here on HN like to think in simplistic binary terms but in the real world of clinical care there is usually no reliable source of truth to evaluate against. Occasionally we see egregious cases of malpractice or failure to follow established clinical practice guidelines but below that there's a huge gray area.

If you look at online reviews, doctors are mostly rated based on being "nice" but that has little bearing on patient outcomes.
