A (somewhat) new website for rating vets

Okay, based on Xebby's latest input, I have modified the list of vet characteristics and pasted it below.  I added "Keeps current with vet technology". 

@Xebby - I hope that the "Equipment" chracteristic somewhat covers your equipment/bloodwork statements.  I agree that willingness to consult with other vets when needed is a good feature, but I believe it is probably covered by the existing entries below.  I feel very fortuante to have your input, since you have experience working in a veterinarian office.

If anyone else can think of something I am missing, I will add it to the list.  I will use this list to make sure the questions that I currently have at  [linkhttp://www.servicegrades.com/search-for/vet]ServiceGrades.com  [/link]are even more useful for vet customers.

I have made some updates to the [linkhttp://www.servicegrades.com]ServiceGrades.com website[/link], and I want to thank you all for your input.

1. I have added the concept of 'group' to a provider, which is where clinic names can be placed for vets.  Currently, I don't have clinic data for vets, but I am working on it.  If any of you would like to send me clinic information for your vets, you can go to the [linkhttp://www.servicegrades.com/feedback?referenceVal=dog_clinic]feedback page[/link].
   
2. I have added a question about how well a vet communicates with you.
3. I have removed the question about insurance, since it does not apply in most cases for vets.
4. I have re-worded a few of the questions based on comments in this thread.
   

Feel free to take another look and let me know if I am on the right track.  In the process, if you create an account and rate your vet or other healthcare provider, you might just win a [linkhttp://www.servicegrades.com/faq#coffee]free cup of coffee[/link].

Thanks again,

Can you do a Canada one to I went to add my vet, but its all in states.

I was wondering when someone would get around to asking to include Canada!

It is or course on my list of things to include.  I am guessing I will have it in before the year is out.

Thanks,

Dan
