from "very good" to "cave bad" have hotels, restaurants, and users of the public auction portal online reviews put up long ago. Now it is also true doctors and lawyers. Even some resist the rating - But they will have to live it.

Berlin - The verdict for the Berlin dentist fails devastating. He has at DocInsider.de only one of five points. . This requires the user "synecdoche" in his assessment: "The total bill (is) almost twice as high as in the treatment and cost plan announced top of that had a crown just six months will be re-made on the application - that have had to make a different doctor (...). hands off and go somewhere else! " It fits - new patients are put off.

GP: "In the worst case, economic consequences,"

direct threats of action for ten doctors who request the deletion of assessment, lie on the desk of Ingo Horak, the director of the Evaluation Portal DocInsider.de. But that remains consistent and does not delete entries: "The 'semi-gods in white' will have to get used to review sites." He feels validated by the recent Spickmich ruling. The Cologne Regional Court has on in the third round 30 January brought by a teacher against teacher-rated side rejected as inadmissible and unfounded. The woman from North Rhine-Westphalia saw in the assessment of their personal rights injured. In

doctors "not without controversy,"

Even before the District Court of Berlin had the operator of the evaluation platform, free MeinProf.de of the preliminary assessment obligation of assessments. This gave medicine portals like Helpster, Imedo, DocInsider Medmonitor for clinical evaluations and enormous upswing. The market for opinions about doctors is great. Finally, health spending in Germany at around 3,000 euros per inhabitant per year. But who says a gentle, graded, and possibly differentiated according to various criteria, which doctor or clinic that does a good job? It is essential to the search still on recommendations from friends and acquaintances.

"These portals reflect a need of the patient again, that make performance transparent," says Roland Stahl of the federal physicians' association. The review pages are in the medical profession "is not without controversy, much of what was published there, but was" covered by the right to freedom of expression ". To date, subject to the physicians' group for the first few Complaints about perceived as unfair or libelous product reviews - lightly wanted to take the issue but also in the future either, because: "In the worst case, something economic consequences for the doctor."

The big breakthrough in the number of users registered so far in any case none of the evaluation platform. This is certainly not least the fact that chronically or seriously ill people in internet forums for some time to meet like-minded people and find very detailed information about their disease. The still low number of ratings leads to a distorted Image. To the dentist in the initial example, there was only this one criticism.

Even employers are now assessed on the net: On the Austrian side started six months ago kununu have so far about 1,600 workers from Germany rated 1200 companies - that's not much.

on an assessment page for lawyers has not yet ventured. Is it due to their Klagefreudigkeit or the fact that their work can only be judged by lay heavy? The latter assumed Swen Walentowski, spokesman for the German Bar Association. "If you have lost your lawyer in court, but he has done legal work clean as you want on this?" Asks the Berlin Bar.

"The tone is really positive,"

In Anwaltauskunft.de the association provides a database with 66,000 lawyers. In it you can search by subject area, training, qualifications and language skills. However, there is no evaluation function. It also advocates a fundamental problem with such portals, Hartmut Scharmer says of the Hamburg Bar Association. "What the teachers is right, the lawyers are cheap." Must be clear, however, that "insulting criticism, insult and defamation" had no place there, the ratings would be provided, "according to transparent criteria."

In Switzerland, one is more in that area. On Anwaltvergleich.ch one finds in addition to a rating of up to six stars and free-form text clients. Even the hourly rates of lawyers can be found here. First steps on this terrain Carsten Schmidt and John Goddard venture in Germany. The marketing experts from Wiesbaden started in December 2007, the portal KennstDuEinen.de recommendation. In addition to craftsmen and doctors, lawyers here also to be found, to evaluate the man. There have been no complaints from lawyers.

"The medical profession is the Gallic village

" insults and abuse by our electronic pre-filter, "says Schmidt. Feels a service treated unfairly, he has the "dubious" feature an examination of the entry call. Stephan Uhrenbacher, founder of the early 2007 started rating portal "Reviews" in the can by the pizza-service to the art gallery all are valued, can not remember even to problems that have criticized lawyers - for lawyers are the users in principle "more cautious" the number of entries in this area is generally "lean" and "the tone is really positive." If

ratings provide more a better picture of the service and make recommendations to users with good experience, will be the result of the review sites but unstoppable. All will have to face the decision of their customers, clients and patients. Ingo Horak afraid the debate is not with the doctors: "The medical profession is the Gallic village, but review sites will prevail."
