The service offers listings for over 800,000 physicians based on public records. Users can rank their doctors anonymously, something that has brought not a few lawsuits to Avvo in the past. Think of it as Yelp for human beings.
The site also offers free medical advice in addition to its free legal advice. Again, while I trust Angie to steer me right when it comes to folks who can clean up my gutter, I’m loathe to trust free medical advice on the Internet. That said, the service is free, anonymous, and could be a good first step for those with weeping sores, etc.
The site, according to the Seattle Times, sees 2 million visitors per month hand has raised $23 million in funding.
