New Vitals reviews needed to go from 3.8★ to 4.5★
This platform uses a weighted rating calculation, not a simple average — treat this number as a rough estimate, not an exact target.
Vitals's rating isn’t a simple average — treat this as a directional estimate. See how Vitals's rating actually works or Vitals review management.
What Vitals discloses about its rating
Every Vitals review starts with a required overall star rating. Patients can then optionally rate the physician across seven additional categories: Ease of Appointment, Promptness, Courteous Staff, Accurate Diagnosis, Bedside Manner, Spends Time with Me, and Follow-up. Vitals does not publish the exact formula for how — or whether — those optional category scores factor into the overall average shown on a profile, so treat any displayed score as an indicator rather than a number you can rebuild from a spreadsheet.
Vitals limits patients to one review per physician every 30 days, which is a stated guardrail against a single patient repeatedly skewing a profile’s average. Reviews are also screened for defamatory or inflammatory content before or after posting, with Vitals reserving the right to remove anything that violates its guidelines or Terms of Use.
- A required overall star rating on every review, plus seven optional category ratings (Ease of Appointment, Promptness, Courteous Staff, Accurate Diagnosis, Bedside Manner, Spends Time with Me, Follow-up).
- No published formula for how category ratings combine into the displayed overall score — Vitals does not disclose a simple-average or weighted mechanic.
- A one-review-per-patient, per-physician, 30-day limit, stated as a safeguard against a single patient repeatedly moving the average.
- Screening for defamatory or inflammatory content, with removal reserved for guideline or Terms of Use violations — not for reviews that are simply negative.
